NOT SUITABLE FOR KIDS

I'm Lebron45James6 and I would know. Its just not suitable for kids.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (1 ):
Kids say (2 ):

The book's verse is spare yet with enough curiosities to make it ideal for an early read-alone; the crazy-wild artwork, as always with Seuss, makes it a winner as a read-aloud.

Democracy is not an idea that comes naturally to 4-year-olds. They do, on the other hand, have an innate appreciation of lawlessness, which is a necessary stage before the acceptance of the rule of law. Leave it to Dr. Seuss to get at democracy through anarchy.

This book has the look of early Dr. Seuss, as if the characters were experiments that would eventually lead to the Cat in the Hat and his whole odd world of creatures. The roughness of the character designs makes them that much more cuddly; even when they are being turkeys, readers will have a protective instinct at work for them.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
