By combining the funniest stories, craziest creatures and zaniestpictures with his unique blend of rhyme, rhythm and repetition, Dr Seuss helps children of all ages and abilities learn to read.
Goodreads Summary
Dr. Seuss is ever-imaginative and this book certainly delivers. For me, this book was a childhood favorite as well as a pipedream that I might run a zoo one day only I want all the animals to roam free! I loved the lyrical rhymes and light-hearted drawings. I honestly felt bad for the animals and there were a few questionable lines in the book. The color scheme is bright and eye-catching and the book is an overall fast-read. This book captures a child's imagination perfectly.
