The first book I bought for my god daughter.
Dr. Seuss is the best way to get your child to see that reading is fun.
With the Dr.s lyrical sing song rhymes and strange creatures,bright colors.
Salem loves this book,she loves to show how bright she is,she wants to count,to do her alphabet,at this age (She is 22 Mo) this is playing,
and the Dr. keeps children entertained, reading the same timeless books
that you knew as a child.

For Adults Too!
It was purely by accident that I found myself with a copy of Dr Seuss's "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish" in my hands and actually reading it. The nostalgia trip lasted about 3.5 seconds before I started enjoying the book in its own right as an adult. It is just plain linguistic fun. And, yeah, it will appeal to kids as well.

The story itself is nonsensical fun, and the use of sounds to create that sense of fun is very creative. As only Dr Seuss can do, he makes reading the book not only fun at a mental level, but the rhythm and sounds also have the ability to make reading it fun. I found myself captivated in anticipation of what Seuss would do next with the words. The names of various creatures are also just plain fun and really appeal to the child in us all.

The illustrations are what one would expect from Dr Seuss: gaudy colours and not too much detail. They are fantastic pictures, even though they are quite simple. They do not distract from the text, but there is enough there to keep younger kids focused. Of course, that should not stop us older "kids" enjoying them.

This is a true classic of a book, and is among my favourites of Dr Seuss books. I have to confess to still enjoying it and know that kids do too. It is a great book and well-written. Kids everywhere should have at least one Dr Seuss book.

Oh yeah, this book is great for pronunciation classes, as well, with foreign students! It targets some common sounds that are problematic for some nationalities.

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish
My children grew up with this book. We would snuggle up and read it nearly every night. This copy was purchased for my Granddaughter and I am snuggling once again reading this little book. She loves it too...as do I.

We love Seuss!
My 14 month old loves this book! Seuss is a genius. The rhyming keeps his attention throughout the whole book!

Flat out amazing
The book "One Fish Two Fish" written by Dr.Suess is very good. There is not a lot of text in it, but it does teach kids about colors, and rhyme. It also has a message about accepting everybody as different.

This book would be suggested for ages 2-100 because I'm twelve and I am still in love with this book. I bet everybody alive has read a Dr. Suess book. They are classics and just flat out amazing.

You can get One Fish Two Fish in pop up version and hardback but I have never seen it in paperback. I think that you should get it. You can buy it at any of your local bookstores or you can just buy it on this website for $8.99. It is well worth the price.

Dr. Seuss Books
If you can get the child down to read and get interested, it's a free flowing, in the style of a man that can get down to the simplicity of capturing the free-flowing rhyme without-reason style that makes his individuality so captivating. Whether for a child or an adult, his books are always a classic. LLO'C

The perfect read-with-your-child-book
As I titled this, all these Seuss beginner books are so delightful to read with my children, and the right length.

Another classic Dr Seuss book
Although its not as great as The Cat in the Hat, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish is certainly one of my children's favorites, and they especially love trying to read some of the rhymes outloud. Certainly a great choice for a book for your young ones.

These fish become swans
One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss gives young children an excellent way to start reading independently. The book helps children learn to count to eleven and it increases their vocabulary as you read it along with them the first few times. Young children just learning to read will be able to read this book as one of their first books that they can read by themselves; and the cute illustrations will delight children and even adults everywhere.

The book's plot is not entirely deep--nor should it be for this exceptionally young, tender age group. The book helps kids to learn how to count to eleven and recognize the words for those numbers; it also uses pictures to introduce words for basic colors including red, blue, black, yellow and pink. Children also explore the concepts of old and new; fast and slow; high and low; thin and fat as well as here and there. Excellent! The book also introduces the telephone and how two people can communicate by phone. Your child will love that--they'll think that the phone is a toy!

The book is nicely bound and the strength of the hardcover binding makes the book tolerate the bending and occasional carelessness of a young child who is learning to read partly by using this book. Great!

I highly recommend One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish for younger kids who are just learning to read. This book will increase their vocabulary by introducing words, comparisons and pictures. The child also gets a heightened awareness of the world around them; and the adorable illustrations will delight children everywhere.

Great job, Dr. Seuss!
