I purchased this book because it’s a classic and also for the lesson behind it, since my 2-year-old is a picky eater. I’m not sure he fully understands the meaning yet, but he absolutely loves the book and asks for it to be read multiple times.It is a bit longer than some toddler books, but he doesn’t seem to mind at all. He sits through the entire story and will often ask to read it again right away. The rhythm and repetition really keep him engaged.Overall, it’s a fun and engaging book that we enjoy reading anytime during the day. It’s become a favorite in our home.
Educational Value:I’ve read this to my [Age] child dozens of times, and it never gets old. The genius of the 50-word vocabulary is that it doesn't overwhelm a new reader. The anapestic tetrameter (the "beat" of the rhymes) makes it feel like a song, which kept my child engaged long after they usually lose interest in a standard picture book.Cons: Repetition: For parents, the 20th read-through in one day can be a test of patience—but that’s exactly what the child needs for learning!
This book changed my life. Thank you Dr Seuss
My 3 year old is obsessed with all the dr suess books but he loves this one and one fish red fish blue fish the most!
