One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (I Can Read It All by Myself) Review
User Submitted One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (I Can Read It All by Myself) ReviewsAugust 14, 2008 Something Fishy to Me!!! Super Book, as are all Dr. Seuss books! Book was new and as described. Fast shipping...rec'd in 4 days. It would be nice though if Amazon didn't set the shipping rates so the sellers could use media mail for their books to make it cheaper for the purchaser! If they didn't charge the flat $3.99 rate, it would make purchasing more affordable and one could do it more often! I'll buy from this firsttrust_books seller again! August 7, 2008 An Under-rated Classic!! "Cat in the Hat" and "Green Eggs and Ham" get all the fame and glory, and I actually don't remember ever reading "One Fish Two Fish" as a child. But I've discovered this book now that I have a three year-old of my own, and it has become our favorites. Dr. Seuss is exceptionally skilled at playing with words and rhymes and coming up with hilarious, fun, well-crafted sentences. This book contains some of his best work. The books make learning language great fun. I was amazed last night when my daughter started rattling off the sentences in the book from memory as I read it to her, and she had great fun doing it. A children's book that both children and adults can appreciate and one that inspires in children a love of learning language: what more could a parent want? And one other editorial comment...now that I've spent much time scouring the library shelves for good books for my child, I have come to have tremendous appreciation for Dr. Seuss's talent and wit. Almost all children's book authors fall far short of the standard Dr. Seuss set decades ago. Give me "One Fish Two Fish" or "The Lorax" over "The Polar Express" any day! August 6, 2008 Classic Suess with simpler rhymes than Fox in Socks This is one of our first bedtime books for our sons along with "Hop on Pop" and "The Foot Book". This beginner's book provides simple rhymes that are easy to learn and repeat. We don't read this book as much anymore. We later graduated to "Fox in Socks." My oldest has returned to this book as an early reader. (I have to mix up the pages because my boys have much of the book memorized). August 3, 2008 Classic book, of course Please note that it is a bit long - definitely not a great readaloud for any child with a short attention span. It also does jump around a lot. That's an asset in an early reader - it means that the kids can stop reading when they get frustrated and pick it up again when they're ready. They don't have to worry about remembering plot points for more than two pages. I like this book, my nieces like it (when they're willing to sit through it), that's what matters. I will note that some people might object to a picture depicting some violence and calling another (sentient?) creature "bad". I don't, but if you do, please read before buying. July 22, 2008 Seussian animals for everyone Reading this book is like taking a stroll down a Seussian zoo. It's one of my favorites, with its silly, clever rhymes, funny dialogues and interesting creatures. I like it more than "If I ran the zoo" (also by Dr. Seuss). Like all Seuss books, this one is great for introducing children to the love of reading. June 7, 2008 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. June 1, 2008 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. May 27, 2008 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. April 3, 2008 We love Seuss! My 14 month old loves this book! Seuss is a genius. The rhyming keeps his attention throughout the whole book! February 12, 2008 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. - Melina Jansen] For more One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (I Can Read It All by Myself) reviews click here.
