Philosophical Musings of a Book Nerd

I notice that some people deeply analyse the functionality of the book in how well it would work to help children to read and to understand the English language, and there are others that simply go on about how much they loved this book when they were a kid (and have probably not read it since then). Then there is me, who will read the book and then make comments about it in the same way that I made comments about Mister Dog: The Dog Who Belonged to Himself and The Three Bears. Mind you, I'm not going to be making any outrageous comments about this book other than the fact that while I think that it is stupid I still feel the urge to give it a high rating.

This is what you would call a nonsense book – not in the sense of Alice in Wonderland nonsense but nonsense in the sense that this book is stupid. Basically it has a kid running around his house pointing out all of the weird and wonderful creatures that happen to rhyme with the item of furniture that then live on or in. The pictures are also quite silly as well, but as I said something is forcing me to give this book a high rating and I really do not know why.

Hey, I liked this book as a kid, and I notice that I tend to prefer the Dr Seuss books to the Little Golden Books (and I have said more than enough on that already). The rhyme and meter are exceptional, though it is not hard to create a rhyme when you are basically making up all of the words that you are rhyming. Oh, who am I to complain – Dr Seuss is a very famous and much loved children's author and as such it doesn't matter how stupid his books are, he still made money off of them.
