Dr. Suess's ABC is a great book that introduces children not only to the entire alphabet, but it also shows children the differences in capitalization and lowercase and encourages a strong sense of creativity. Although Suess may not use real everyday words for some letters,such as the letter "K" and the example, kerchoo, I feel this is suitable for the age group;it allows children to be engaged. With this specific example the picture gives the description, much like it sounds, it appears to be a sneeze. Children are then able to familiarize themselves with Dr.Seuss's infamous illustration technique. that I've found is rarely duplicated. Overall, it is a very well written beginner book,however I was let down with the example of "X"; no words began with the letter. After considering the age group and the words that actually began with "X" I further understood Dr. Suess's intentions.

Dr. Seuss has a special place in my heart with his books and i love the rhyming and creativity for each of the letters!!

I read this book with my two-year-old nephew, who had just woken up and wanted to read a book with me. He just pointed at a book, and then backed into my lap and it was the cutest thing EVER. As I read the book to him, he pointed at each thing and named the color. I thought it was great for its clarity in the images, which made it easy for him to point and talk about each letter, but a lot of the nonsense words seemed to not interest him since he liked being able to name things. More than anything, I'll remember this book for giving me such a good memory with Lukey.

Good introduction to letters, though I'll someday have to explain what happened to all of the "duck-dogs"

A quirky book that goes through the ABC's.
Some rhyming and word play in typical Dr. Seuss style

Bright Pictures and interesting creatures make it interesting and entertaining for the children.
The children in my class enjoy this book.

"Dr. Seuss's ABC" is a delightful picture book written for primary readers. Each page is dedicated to one letter of the alphabet where it is presented in both upper and lower cases and then featured in a zany sentence. The creative use of language makes this a fun and memorable reading experience. Between "David Donal Doo's dozen donuts" and "Jerry Jordan's jelly jar" - the reader is delightfully immersed into the world of sounds and language. I gave this book a 4-star rating for its fun-loving and easy read style!

The simple rhythm and charming rhyming patterns make it make it fun for children to predict the next word and quickly memorize the text. Brightly colored and imaginative pictures, draw the reader into Dr. Seuss's fantastic world of intriguing and zany characters. This book is a fantastic resource for parents and teachers alike as they introduce their little ones to the wonderful world of sounds, language and reading!

I love all the rhymes, the pictures, and all the creativity. A fun book.

Read to my grade 1’s :)

Thriftbooks sale | The rhythms of this are good for reading aloud to the target age, and there is not a xylophone or xray to be found (no xenophobia, either, for all you Dara O'Briain fans), though I wish Z had at least one real word starting with the letter. I did a practice read-through while using ASL to finger-spell each letter alongside its page, and it's easy to do because each letter is introduced by just stating the letter itself.
If you haven't seen the video on social media of the guy rapping this book, you're missing out.

Well, what can I say? I indulged myself with a little of Dr Seuss and taught myself my A B C - Z all over again. It was fun, the illustrations are fun, the book is fun and is a must for children of all ages!

I am now reviewing a different edition that goes into far more detail than the one reviewed above. It still runs through the gamut of the alphabet, it is still fun, the illustrations are as zany as Dr Seuss can be and it is still a must for children of all ages. Believe it or not, I bought it for my daughter (she is in her 40s and still loves Dr Seuss) for Christmas and she was determined to read it aloud to me - and she did. I then decided to read it myself because it was such fun.

'Auntie Aggie and her alligator' start proceedings off then we work through to 'Jerry Jordan's jelly jar and jam begin that way' onward to 'Silly Sammy Slick sipped six sodas and got sick sick sick' to a final 'What begins with Z? I do. I am a Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz as you can plainly see.' And we can see the Zizzer sat there in his pink and white squared one piece - or is it his unusually coloured fur?

A jolly good bit of fun to be had at Christmas.

It’s rhythmic format and repetition is a good learning tool. But some of the rhymes could be improved.
