Who Are You, Sue Snue? (Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss)

Rating:
Summary: The worst idea for a franchise in the world
Review: I can't believe they've started slapping the Dr. Suess name on crappy knock-offs and trying to suck the children's book consumer dry. (Well, Ok, I can.) This is the first of two books I've read so far in the "wubbulus world" series, and the absolute worst. Not only does it have all the problems already described by the intelligent reader from Australia, but there is something else terribly wrong with it: The message that it is Ok, even noble, to defy, ignore, and dismiss the directives, opinions, and desires of your parents and family. Not something the average toddler needs to hear. Your two year old may love the rhymes, but what are you teaching them?

Summary: Sue Snue is wonderful!
Review: I, personally, enjoyed this book and so does my son and my niece. Children are always asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" How can you know when you are so young? Little ones, like the rest of us, are trying to figure out where they fit in the scheme of things. Does she want to be a baker, a candlestick maker, or something else? She says that she wants to be herself and I say 'Hooray!'. It's nice for girls and boys to know that it is more than fine to be themselves.

Summary: Susan Bocks Dutter Docks Berklummer Snue
Review: My children ADORED this book! We checked it out at the library on Dr. Suess' birthday a few weeks ago and it was so much fun. Though he did not write it, it is in quite a similar style to his and is an encouragement - especially to my girls - that they can be anything that they want to be, "thank you very much". They still say the girl's name over and over - Susan Bocks Dutter Docks Berklummer Snue - it is such a funny, rhythmical little name, it just begs to be repeated over and over again! Ms. Gikow does Seuss lovers a wonderful service by keeping his style alive and kicking!!! We would buy this book if we could find it!
