My son had this read to him for the first time at 2 months and he just sat and listened. This is an excellent and fun book!

Somehow the creatures look just like their names

When she was young, my daughter loved this book. The rhymes are so wonderful and the creatures somehow match their images. The Zlock somehow looks like a Zlock, the Zelf like a Zelf and the Bofa like a Bofa. Do your child a favor and enrich their life by reading this book to them.

All right book, rhyming book with creatures, but a bit pointless

My 4 year old daughter is quite interested in this book but doesn't really like it. She keeps hoping, (I think) that there is more too it.

The joy in this book is that it is all about rhymes, nureau's in the bureau, tellar, sellar, bellar etc in the cellar and so on. Which is a nice early rhyme style story - learning about sounds and I guess you could say the texture and rules of language. However the story is almost pointless. Some of these animals are good and some aren't - but it is difficult to tell while - the Nofa on the Sofa is apparently an animal he doesn't like, but it just appears to be reading a book quietly.

I found the illustrations a bit unsatisfying as well. They are in colour, but when I compare them to the glorious detail of Horton Hatches an Egg (which is only coloured in three colours) then the Wocket in the Pocket does not match by any stretch of the imagination.

It is a simple easy story to rattle off at bedtime, it teaches rhyme but it doesn't inspire my children.

Delightful

This is a delight for kids and adults. It's fun to read out loud, with goofy creature names like yottle, nooth grush and quimney. I've read it many times to my two kids without getting tired of it. The artwork is fun and playful. What else would you expect from Dr. Seuss?

"Did you ever have the feeling there's a WASKET in your BASKET?" Well this little boy did. This wonderful story is about a little boy and all the things he discovers in his house. There are tons of different creatures made up in the mind of Dr. Seuss. This books crazy rhyming patterns will have your child's full attention. There's just something about rhyming stories that children love.
I would recommend this story to anyone but mainly children from ages 3-9. I am almost positive they would love it. How do I know this? I know this because this has been one of my favorite books ever since I was a little tike. Any adult would love this story also. It's a fun book to read to little ones, I know because I read it to my cousins and they love it!! I would highly recommend you purchase this book or rent from the library. Although it would be smarter to buy it, because "it's a keeper!"

There's a Wocket in my Pocket

There's a Wocket in my Pocket is a great book for kids. Its a book about a boy who finds all kinds of different Wockets all over his house, in his pocket, in his trash baket, in his bureau, in his closet, in his curtains, behind his clock, up on a shelf, in the sink, in the lamp, in the pots and pans, in a bottle, in and in his chair, they are everywhere. This book is a great book if you like to rhyme words, some a tongue twisting, and some are funny. In the end the boy talked about how he likes where he lives because of all the Wockets there. The reason I liked this book is because it was tongue twisting and it rhymed.

Put a grin on your chin with a wocket in my pocket...

Dr. Seuss has delighted children for generations with his bright, imaginative illustrations and playful, rhyming verse... but "There's a Wocket in my pocket" remains a king among nobility, a diamond among gems. Every page features deliciously whimsical creatures that made me laugh out loud when I was little. Okay, okay... this really isn't the "novel of the century", but it's definitely a bona fide masterpiece for Children! (The other great one, in my opinion, is "Did I ever tell you how lucky you are?") Who, as a child, didn't spend hours looking at Seussian sketches and projecting oneself into those deceivingly simple alien landscapes? Seuss is amazing, true genius. From dark and eerie desolate plains of hanging clothes lines and swamps of green goo, to busy market-places full of delightful monsters, Seuss knows intimately what appeals to kids!
