Why our Child-Experts Love It
We love this child′s book because it is an easy read with delightful verse and pictures. It closes with the wise lesson that people are people, no matter how small.
We don′t think it′s possible for Dr Seuss to not put a smile on your face. But just to be sure, here are a few famous Seussisms:
- "I meant what i said and i said what i meant. An elephant′s faithful one-hundred percent!"
- "A person′s a person, no matter how small."
- "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It′s not."
- "Being crazy isn′t enough."
- "From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!"
- "How did it get so late so soon?"
- "If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good."
- "So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life′s A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed) Kid, you′ll move mountains."
- "You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room."
- "You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut."
- "Oh the places you′ll go! There is fun to be done! There are points to be scored. There are games to be won. And the magical things you can do with that ball will make you the winning-est winner of all."
...and last but not least..."Be awesome! Be a book nut!"
Features and Skills
-
Reading with your child is a great way to spend quality time. Reading is an important activity to foster language skills and help your child learn new information. Long before a child can speak, an infant is learning the melodies and sounds of language. They are learning to understand words and pair pictures of objects with the name of the object. In addition to language skills, reading with your child helps improve their attention and builds curiosity. We want children of all ages to hear ‘adult, complex sentences’ so alternate reading a book as you typically would (reading all the written words) with the tips described below.
-
Infants – 2 year olds: point to the pictures and emphasize the name of each picture (one word at a time). Your intonation and melody plays an important role in your child’s attention to the book at this age.
-
2-3 year olds – read the story as written but ask questions along the way to ensure that your child understands what is happening in the story. This also allows them to be active “readers”
-
3-4 year olds – ask your child to tell you about the pictures/predict the story first. Then read the words on the page. This is a great way to help foster their story-telling abilities.
-
4-5 year olds – at this age children begin to gain interest in the letters of the alphabet and the sounds they make. Point to some of the words as you read to support this interest. At the end of a book, you and your child can make up a different ending OR try and add to the story.
-
5-6 year olds – Your child will begin to read at this age, generally by memorization of sight words. Keep a running list of the words that your child successfully recognizes. They will feel great pride as the list grows longer and longer.
