Amazon.com Review
There's a Wocket in my Pocket is yet another prime catch in the vast sea of delectable Dr. Seuss books. It's difficult to find a Dr. Seuss book one wouldn't recommend highly, and this is no exception. Seuss's simple rhymes are consistently as amusing as they are useful; his books are bastions of creative nonsense that simultaneously encourage the joy of wordplay.

This edition of the 1974 treasure features vibrant full-color illustrations, with the added bonus of a virtually indestructible board-book format. Kids can hunt for the zamp in the lamp, the jertain behind the curtain, even the nooth grush on the toothbrush, and no matter how exuberant their exploring gets, the book will remain intact for the next reading. (Ages 0 to 4)

About the Author
Dr. Seuss was born Theodore Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2,

1904. After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford University, he began a

career in advertising. His advertising cartoons, featuring Quick, Henry, the

Flit!, appeared in several leading American magazines.


Dr. Seusss first children's book, And To Think I Saw It On Mulberry Street hit

the market in 1937, and the world of children's literature was changed

forever!


In 1957, Seuss's The Cat in the Hat became the prototype for one of Random

House's best- selling series, Beginner Books. This popular series combined

engaging stories with outrageous illustrations and playful sounds to teach

basic reading skills.


Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his

way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In

the process, he helped kids learn to read.


Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and two Academy Awards, Seuss was the

author and illustrator of 44 childrens books, some of which have been made into

audiocassettes, animated television specials, and videos for children of all

ages. Even after his death in 1991, Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling

author of children's books in the world.

Customer Reviews

NOT the book you know and love!
This is a nice enough board book, but be advised that it is NOT the full version of Dr. Seuss' book! They've left out several (charming!) pages of text and illustrations for the Board Book... What a disappointment to loyal fans, and how unfair to the newest generation of fans-to-be.

Still fun, after 200 reads!
I'm an au pair for an 18 month old boy and he absolutely LOVES this book! He requests me to read it numerous times a day, several times in a row. This has been going on for over two months now, so I would recommend this book for any toddler who is already showing an interest in books. I still haven't gotten tired of reading it, and it's fun to come up with new ways of reading it to him; the story is fun in itself -- for both him and I. He loves the long "teller, weller, beller, geller, etc. in the cellar" which I speed read through and he always laughs at. And then, with "the yottle in the bottle whom I do not wish to keep," he always shakes his head right along with me. Another plus is that I have memorized the book by now, and if he begins to get fussy (e.g. when getting his diaper changed, or on the way home after a tiring excursion) I can recite it to him and it usually improves his mood quite a bit! I would highly recommend this book to any parent or caregiver. Out of the three Dr. Seuss boardbooks we have so far (the others being Mr. Brown Can Moo and The ABC Book), this is by far my favorite, and his too.

A funny book about made-up monsters
This is a great book for kids who are afraid of what lies behind their starircase or under their bed. It makes up silly names for mosters and its shows that they aren't mean or scary just funny looking. It's not only a great book for kids who are afraid of monsters but for any kid who loves to read books that rhyme and joke around.
