Great ilustrations. The rhymes are very simple but they work for children.
Children must read Dr. Seuss as much as possible.

I feel like the nonsense really popped off in this one.

I really enjoy books by Dr. Seuss due to their uniqueness.

Likes:
I like the illustrations as they are very colourful and help bring the words to life, especially the descriptions given the author has created and are hard to picture in your mind, for example, a 'fiffer-feffer-feff'.
The big text makes it easy for children to use, additionally, this helps when using the book for shared reading as children more likely to be able to read the text.
The challenge of trying to read the pages as quickly as possible.

Dislikes:
The layout of the pages could lead to some children developing misconceptions on structure. For example, some sentences are written across three or four lines without any punctuation. Without correct direction from an adult, children could misunderstand how this structure is used in a poetic form.

Use in the classroom:
The repetition of sounds would be helpful when teaching sounds in phonics.
The book could be used as a model of how to use capital and lower-case letters.
The book could be used as an example of rhyme. Following this, it could be used as an example for children to then create their own mini book based on the alphabet.

challenging read

It was too hard. :(

I truly love this book, and miss reading it to my children, who are now grown. It still makes me laugh every time I read it.

Innovative words. Amazing alliterations. Made-up names.

This is Dr. Seuss for you.

Well done, doctor. :D

Good Dr Seuss fun for learning the alphabet and also for learning what made up words begin with which letter. Dr Seuss has managed the make the alphabet fun... at long last. Best one in the book is Y.

"A Yawning Yellow Yak. Young Yolanda Yorgenson is Yelling on his back"

His parents being concerned about how much time he was spending watching a computer video game on YouTube, first-grader Jack was told to stop and I thereupon invited him to pick out a book to read instead. He selected this one without complaint and the two of us proceeded to study it, page by page, both in terms of its words, but also in terms of their reference to the art work. To make it more participatory, I asked Jack to give a word starting with the letter-to-come before proceeding to see what author Geisel's selection would be. It worked, worked enough for the two of us to get through the whole thing, Jack's attention span for reading usually not being adequate to entire children's books.

ABC/Counting: ABC is an amazing classic that has the wonderful elements needed in a great abc book. It includes both uppercase and lowercase letters, pictures that correspond to the letters, words that start with the letters, repetition of the previous letters, and it is fun. I believe it is a must have book for every child in addition to other abc boooks.

Excellent starter book, with creative alliterations and made-up words.

To be honest I still don’t get it but the picture were cool
