It is based entirely on reading, and when being read, the actions within the poems can be repeated by the reader, making the book more entertaining and interactive. *Other* I find that this book is rather useful for younger readers who struggle to read, as well ...
...most certainly an interesting read for the younger audience who will be sure to appreciate the book better than most. And let's not forget the appearance of Dr Seuss' traditional characters, as shown on the cover, the Cat in the Hat - a trade mark feature to children everywhere as a sign of Dr Seuss' magical world. ...
