An old favorite from childhood...and a great way to help me get back on track with my annual reading goal!

My best friend just got like eight Dr. Seuss books and I am not sorry about flooding your feed today and tomorrow with me reading them and telling you how amazing they are.

Because, I mean, it's Dr. Seuss. Can it be anything less?



I would read this to my kids, your kids, your neighbor's kids, the kid down the block, the kid of my worst enemy and probably just all kids. Alphabets can be fun.

If you love rhymes, kooky characters, and want to learn the alphabet .... or just have some childish fun ..... then this is the book for you.

Summarize the book:
This is a classic Dr. Seuss book that introduces the alphabet to its readers. With each letter of the alphabet there is a little sentence/rhyme that has a majority of the words beginning with the same letter. Some of the items that are mentioned are real items, but as with just about all Dr. Seuss books there are some more creative words that are added in.

Identify the characteristics from the text that support the specific genre:
The sentences in this book are short, and are presented in a rhyming/rhythmic way that makes it engaging and fun for those who are reading it. The pictures are large, colorful, and take up a majority of the space on the page. While on the longer side page wise, there are pages that either have no words on them or just a short verse.

Identify specific concepts that could be integrated into the classroom:
In the classroom this book could be used as a way to introduce the alphabet in a memorable way, and have students interact with it when the book asks questions. Also, this book could be used in a rhyming unit or in reading as an example of a rhythmic story.

Provide any other suggestions that would be useful regarding literary content, reading level, and other ways in which the book might be integrated:
While I have not seen a specific age group for this book, I would imagine that it could be used in many lower level elementary classrooms. If the classroom is introducing a letter at a time, then the book could be broken down into chunks and used to introduce specific letters. A teacher might also use this book, or really any Dr. Seuss book, to show how they can use their imaginations to create different animals or worlds.

This is another one of Seuss’ books that’s specifically designed for younger readers who are just getting started. It’d be a lot of fun to read to a kid I guess, and I quite liked the rhyming schemes. All in all, it’s not bad.

Book 12 Dr S. ABC book: oh my goodness some of these words are such a mouthful. I need a drink of water after this

Quintessential Dr. Seuss book right here… feels normal, and then all of a sudden F throws you for a curve ball and you’re like wait is that a word? I think it’s probably still age appropriate for a toddler but it is hard to explain made up words to them. Definitely not great for the age of kids that are learning to read because they will for sure get confused. Overall, I love the old school illustrations and wackiness. Solid 4 stars, would recommend!

This rendition of the “A,b, and the C” is by far a classic for all to enjoy

One of my favourite books read to me many, many times as a child. The good Dr. Seuss is a perfect prescription for times of joy and sorrow, or when ever I need a boost or revisit with my childhood.
Side effects may include but are not limited to: laughter, silliness, imagination ignition, playful wordplay, and drawing and doodles of colour and rhymes and good times.
Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz forever!

Oh poor Silly Sammy Slick!

"Big A little a what begins with A?" And it begins -- the sound of a little voice answering the question - "Aunt Annie's Alligator A a A." This is a favorite read in the car - so much so that my grand kids have it memorized!

Dr. Seuss has a magical way of rhyming and creating rhythm that appeal to young and old. You begin reading about Aunt Annie's alligator and you're off into that delightful rhythm that keeps you and the children hooked to the very end with the Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz. Seuss never disappoints - the rhyme and rhythm are always precise, all because of his great imagination. Nixie Knox and Willy Waterloo, Warren Wiggins and Waldo Woo are all wonderful characters that take us through the travels of the alphabet.

The book is full of anticipation as each page turns will there be blue or red, polka dots or plaids or fancy flying feathers -- who knows? Will the letters be big or very, very small? We can't seem to read it fast enough to see what comes next!

Thanks, Dr. Seuss, for the cat in the hat, the green eggs, Horton and the fish in the bowl. You've helped kids all over the world love to read! Thanks for the good reads!!!

Personal Response:
I read this book to my cousin Mason and he love this book. He is three years old and loved it. He wanted me to keep reading it to him over and over again.

Summary:
This book teaches he person that reads it the alphabet. It has pictures for every letter show a object that starts with a that letter. It also shows different words that start with the letter. It asks what words starts with the letter and then says words that starts with the letter. Then at the end of the book it shows the whole alphabet and more pictures.

Recommendation:
I recommend this book to little kids from like 2 to 6. It would help them learn their alphabet. You should keep reading it to them until they learn there whole alphabet.
