While I'll admit that I'm not a fan of Dr. Suess, I really did not like this book. It was sent home with my 4 y.o. who is currently in a 3 y.o. preschool classroom, as a homework assignment to read, pick her favorite part, and draw a pic. I couldn't even stand reading the book. And there are pictures of "things" shooting with pop guns, trying to "kill" (and that is the actual word used) blobs of red ink. We will be skipping this assignment!
