This collection of tongue twisters from Dr. Seuss is sure to be loved by kids everywhere as they attempt a tongue twister, yet alone a Dr. Seuss tongue twister with words that don't exist.

The fun bright colors are typical Dr. Seuss along with the usual font and typical characters. Dr. Seuss takes his typical style of writing rhymes to a whole new level with these fun tongue twisters that even I had a difficult time with!

That was so amazingly fun!!! The last time my tongue had so much fun was the last time I read Fox in Socks out loud. These books cannot be read normally. They MUST be read aloud, no exception. Even if you are reading to no one and there are lots of people present. Such a sheer delight!!! Nothing like a good Dr. Seuss tongue twister to jumpstart the day. =D

This book is EVIL! Pure evil I tell you. And when you get through it without a slip up it feels a bit like winning Minesweeper on advanced.

Dr. Seuss's book "Oh Say Can You Say" is a funny and imaginative children's book that enhances the overall love of reading. The pictures are brightly colored and contain fantastical made-up creatures the correspond with the tongue-twisting words. The humorous aspect of this book is that much of it doesn't make sense and instead shows the fun of reading for reading's sake. There are also moments in the book that interact with the reader by letting asking them if their tongue is getting tired or letting them know that the book is nearly done. Overall, this is a fun to read book that helps to give children a differing perspective.

OFTEN adults can enjoy reading books meant for children. I loved reading Dr Seuss's "Oh Say Can You Say".
Dr Seuss says on the cover itself
"Oh my brothers!
Oh my sisters!
These are
TERRIBLE TONGUE TWISTERS!"
Mohsin Maqbool says that they are interesting too at the same time.
You will enjoy reading them. And you will be shocked too like the green parrot on the cover. By the way, he should have been on Guinness Book of World Records many years back for being the first parrot to read a book or rather one containing tongue twisters.
The illustrations provided by Dr Seuss are as amazing as they were in "The Cat in the Hat".

This book is very humorous with the tongue twisters it contains. I know that as the reader, this book can be difficult to read aloud. When I read it to my siblings, I always mess up at some point and they find it hilarious. I think that is one of the best parts of the book. I like to think that Dr. Seuss did that on purpose for the child's entertainment. Although each tongue twister is only a page long, the illustrations that go with each are well well done. They are simple, yet tell you everything you need to know about the short poem.

This Dr. Seuss book is also aimed for preschoolers. It teaches how to rhyme and talks about many things. It mentions fresh fish, dinosaurs, bed spreaders, ape cakes grape cakes, money, and ducks. The topics it talks about have rhymes to them that follow into other subjects but still stay on track.

I love this book of tongue-twisters by Dr. Seuss because it is so fun to watch students try to say these! Students become engrossed in the book and love trying out new phrases every time. This book teaches students about phonemic awareness and just makes reading fun. Students get to practice phrases with repeated beginning sounds. I may read this with our word of the week and possibly have students come up with their own tongue-twisters as an extension activity.

Great fun to read alot because the faster you go, the funnier it is to say--and to hear--gets the nursery crowd giggling...which may not be what you want in a bedtime story but for a couch read it is great

I wanted to diversify the Dr Seuss titles that we read and picked up some more from the library. "Mr Brown Can Moo! Can You?" was easy for me to read and Miss 3 copied some of the words but she got bored before we got to the end. She found 'The Lorax' very slow to start and I had to simplify the text a lot as her attention kept slipping (but I appreciated the environmental message). I thought she might like 'Oh Say Can You Say" but she wasn't too fussed and it wasn't the easiest book for me to read (definitely fun at first but an effort to read the entire book in one sitting). They're all sitting on her library book shelf and she hasn't asked me to read any of them to her again.

another book of tongue-twisters! I thought he specialized in rhymes only, but it makes sense that tongue-twisters are a big part of his writings.

"Bed spreaders spreadspreads on beds. Bread spreaders spread butters on breads. And that bed spreader better watch out how he's spreading or that bread spreader's sure going to butter his bedding."
