True to Dr. Seuss's creative writing style, this book is no different. There are many made up animals and names, making it fun and interesting to learn the alphabet. The pictures are also very detailed and whimsical corresponding to the letter and words on the page. I really liked how repetitive it is; the letter appears on the page alone at least three times. A few times in lowercases and several in uppercase. It is good to introduce the concept that there is both upper and lowercase letters. Also, every couple pages after several letters, the alphabet is repeated from the beginning, further instilling the ABCs and the pattern into the child's memory. I really liked the fact that at the end of the book there was the full alphabet, upper and lowercase, this would be a great tool for children that are learning to write the letters because it is a full visual example that the child can follow. This would be a good book for parents of children mostly under the age of five, and for teachers teaching both the alphabet and how to write the letters.
Such a cute book by the creative author Dr. Seuss. His books are loved by all the kids I know because of their unique flair for quirkiness and fun. This book is just another example of his creativity. I highly recommend these to all beginning readers and their parents.
This is SUCH a fun book! My sister and I actually used this book in a talent show when I was working at a Boys and Girls Club, she beat boxed and I rapped to it! Even days after you could hear some of the little ones repeating rhymes from this book. It is great for rhyming and alphabet lessons.
I insist on this one at least once every two weeks to get the alphabet front and center for my son. I think his favorite is Rosie’s Red Rhinoceros but then the Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz is also pretty neat
