Living Books: ABC By Dr. Seuss

Originally created by Dr.
Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning. I think that this is the most amazing alphabet book ever, word-wise. ( wins for pictures, I think.) We've been collecting Dr. Seuss books for quite some time, because we tend to like them. I never read this book as a child, and I'm almost glad, because I get to be so astounded now as an adult. First of all, there's great meter.
Second, there's tons of alliteration. Third, the alliteration is not only at the beginnings of words, but inside them, too: 'Barber baby bubbles and a bumblebee' 'F I think that this is the most amazing alphabet book ever, word-wise.

I never read this book as a child, and I'm almost glad, because I get to be so astounded now as an adult. First of all, there's great meter. Second, there's tons of alliteration.
Third, the alliteration is not only at the beginnings of words, but inside them, too: 'Barber baby bubbles and a bumblebee' 'Four fluffy feathers on a Fiffer-feffer-feff.' I actually didn't notice this until my son had insisted on me reading this to him about twenty times. I woke up in the middle of the night and thought, 'Hey!'
And since I practically have this book memorized (the catchy rhythm and alliteration help), I went through the book in my head at four in the morning and realized exactly how amazing this book is. Simple words. Amazing alliteration. Incredible creativity. How did he manage? We have quite a few ABC books in the house now, but I don't think any of them are quite as fun to read as this one - certainly not with the younger readers anyway.
Seuss doesn't go for the usual pattern of picking one thing for each letter; no, he has to include silly rhymes and even some made-up words too, paired with his trademark slightly-unrealistic illustrations. A sample: BIG A, little a, what begins with A? Aunt Annie's alligator. A.a.A BIG F, little f what begins with F? Four fluffy feathers We have quite a few ABC books in the house now, but I don't think any of them are quite as fun to read as this one - certainly not with the younger readers anyway.

Ostrich, oil, orange owl. O.o.O BIG Y, little y, what begins with Y? A yawning yellow yak with Yolanda on his back. There's some variety, not all the rhymes follow the same exact format, but they all start the same way and most end with the letters again. Writing the alphabet this way does make for a fairly long read, though, and so far the kids (recently turned or turning 2) get a bit restless and distracted before the end. But there's some good vocabulary here (and not too many made-up words) and you can get them to name the things in the pictures, too. 'Big A little a what begins with A?'
And it begins -- the sound of a little voice answering the question - 'Aunt Annie's Alligator A a A.' This is a favorite read in the car - so much so that my grand kids have it memorized! Seuss has a magical way of rhyming and creating rhythm that appeal to young and old.
You begin reading about Aunt Annie's alligator and you're off into that delightful rhythm that keeps you and the children hooked to the very end with the Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz.

You begin reading about Aunt Annie's alligator and you're off into that delightful rhythm that keeps you and the children hooked to the very end with the Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz. Seuss never disappoints - the rhyme and rhythm are always precise, all because of his great imagination.
Nixie Knox and Willy Waterloo, Warren Wiggins and Waldo Woo are all wonderful characters that take us through the travels of the alphabet. The book is full of anticipation as each page turns will there be blue or red, polka dots or plaids or fancy flying feathers -- who knows? Will the letters be big or very, very small? We can't seem to read it fast enough to see what comes next!
Seuss, for the cat in the hat, the green eggs, Horton and the fish in the bowl. You've helped kids all over the world love to read! Thanks for the good reads!!!

To make it more participatory, I asked Jack to give a word starting with the letter-to-come before proceeding to see what author Geisel's selection would be. It worked, worked enough for the two of us to get through the whole thing, Jack's attention span for reading usually not being adequate to entire children's books.
Summarize the book: This is a classic Dr. Seuss book that introduces the alphabet to its readers. With each letter of the alphabet there is a little sentence/rhyme that has a majority of the words beginning with the same letter. Some of the items that are mentioned are real items, but as with just about all Dr. Seuss books there are some more creative words that are added in.

Some of the items that are mentioned are real items, but as with just about all Dr. Seuss books there are some more creative words that are added in. Identify the characteristics from the text that support the specific genre: The sentences in this book are short, and are presented in a rhyming/rhythmic way that makes it engaging and fun for those who are reading it. The pictures are large, colorful, and take up a majority of the space on the page.
While on the longer side page wise, there are pages that either have no words on them or just a short verse. Identify specific concepts that could be integrated into the classroom: In the classroom this book could be used as a way to introduce the alphabet in a memorable way, and have students interact with it when the book asks questions. Also, this book could be used in a rhyming unit or in reading as an example of a rhythmic story. Provide any other suggestions that would be useful regarding literary content, reading level, and other ways in which the book might be integrated: While I have not seen a specific age group for this book, I would imagine that it could be used in many lower level elementary classrooms. If the classroom is introducing a letter at a time, then the book could be broken down into chunks and used to introduce specific letters.
A teacher might also use this book, or really any Dr. Seuss book, to show how they can use their imaginations to create different animals or worlds. This book does have rhymes in it, like most Dr.Seuss’s books, and it also has alliteration. This is important for this book in particular since it not only teaches children the letters of the alphabet but it also their sounds. This book is good at teaching phonics since it did not overlook special sounds for some letters that could have been overlooked otherwise. Such was the case for the letter “C”, even though the hard “C” sound could have been done on its own the soft “C” was also included by This book does have rhymes in it, like most Dr.Seuss’s books, and it also has alliteration.

This book is good at teaching phonics since it did not overlook special sounds for some letters that could have been overlooked otherwise. Such was the case for the letter “C”, even though the hard “C” sound could have been done on its own the soft “C” was also included by incorporating the word “ceiling” into the page about the letter “C”. Often time consonants are shown with more than one vowel. For instance, in the page that was focusing on the letter “J” words starting with the letter “J” were incorporated, words such as “jelly”, “jar”, and “Jordan’s” were included allowing all the “J” paired with the vowels “e”, “a”, and “o” sounds to be heard.
The pictures reflected the words and often times enhanced them. The pictures were sometimes necessary since no one would know what a “Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz” was. But the pictures were also useful since they let children connect letters, and their sounds, with objects they see in their everyday lives. Seuss's creative writing style, this book is no different. There are many made up animals and names, making it fun and interesting to learn the alphabet. The pictures are also very detailed and whimsical corresponding to the letter and words on the page.
I really liked how repetitive it is; the letter appears on the page alone at least three times. A few times in lowercases and several in uppercase. It is good to introduce the concept that there is both upper and lowercase letters. A True to Dr. Seuss's creative writing style, this book is no different.

A few times in lowercases and several in uppercase. It is good to introduce the concept that there is both upper and lowercase letters. Also, every couple pages after several letters, the alphabet is repeated from the beginning, further instilling the ABCs and the pattern into the child's memory. I really liked the fact that at the end of the book there was the full alphabet, upper and lowercase, this would be a great tool for children that are learning to write the letters because it is a full visual example that the child can follow.
This would be a good book for parents of children mostly under the age of five, and for teachers teaching both the alphabet and how to write the letters. I was highly disappointed in this book. Seuss would be turning angrily in his grave for how they placed this book together. There are a couple of pages that lay out exactly what Dr. Seuss wrote, but then there are other pages that do not even have the right words. It is as though the publishing company rewrote this classic book. There are words that are missing and pages rewrote entirely.

But I would rather get the actual book with the correct words written by the amazing author. There is no need to rewrite anything.
This book was not entertaining. It did not rhyme where pages were rewritten or words were removed. When you get so used to reading it a certain way that makes sense and the kids are entertained and then you go to this, it is maddening. If I was looking to buy this book, I would buy the true Dr. Seuss version, not this cheap rip off of a failed try to make it work. I read the book ABC by Dr.Seuss.
It is about the alphabet and all the words with a certain letter in it. It starts with A and finishes with Z. There are a lot of interesting words they use throughout the book.
There is no main character, but there are some characters. David Donald Doo who is some white kid that dreams about a duck dog. There is Fiffer-feffer-feff who has four fluffy feathers coming out of his head. There is also Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz who is gigantic, ugly, and pink and white. There i I read the book ABC by Dr.Seuss.

There is no setting; it is just super random. I guess the setting is in your head and where ever you want it to take place.
There was not a time either, so you have to use your imagination. I would recommend this book to adults reading to young children who are learning. I personally did not care for it much, but I was not reading it to a child. I was reading it to myself. It is a fun, good way for kids to learn at a young age. Plus a lot of people like Dr.Seuss. Seuss books are classic.
This book copyrighted in 1963 is a great beginner book for any child. The book is easy to follow and gives great Alphabet teaching, such as showing the upper case letters as well as the lower case letters, with each letter in the alphabet and tells several words that start with that letter. To go along with the words, the illustrations are well thought out and are very literal, which is great for beginning readers. I liked the illustrations in the book because they Dr.

I liked the illustrations in the book because they jump out at you and go beyond the reading passage. The book also flows very well and could be put into music, so that the children can get a hands on experience when teaching the alphabet to children.
I think the book would go well with a kindergarten classroom, as well as up to 2nd grade classroom when they are learning how to spell and learning to understand things a little better.

Seuss's ABC' is a delightful picture book written for primary readers. Each page is dedicated to one letter of the alphabet where it is presented in both upper and lower cases and then featured in a zany sentence. The creative use of language makes this a fun and memorable reading experience. Between 'David Donal Doo's dozen donuts' and 'Jerry Jordan's jelly jar' - the reader is delightfully immersed into the world of sounds and language. I gave this book a 4-star rating for its fun-loving 'Dr. Seuss's ABC' is a delightful picture book written for primary readers.

The simple rhythm and charming rhyming patterns make it make it fun for children to predict the next word and quickly memorize the text.
Brightly colored and imaginative pictures, draw the reader into Dr. Seuss's fantastic world of intriguing and zany characters. This book is a fantastic resource for parents and teachers alike as they introduce their little ones to the wonderful world of sounds, language and reading! Suess's ABC is a great book that introduces children not only to the entire alphabet, but it also shows children the differences in capitalization and lowercase and encourages a strong sense of creativity.
Although Suess may not use real everyday words for some letters,such as the letter 'K' and the example, kerchoo, I feel this is suitable for the age group;it allows children to be engaged.

With this specific example the picture gives the description, much like it sounds, it appears to be a sneeze. Children are then able to familiarize themselves with Dr.Seuss's infamous illustration technique. That I've found is rarely duplicated. Overall, it is a very well written beginner book,however I was let down with the example of 'X'; no words began with the letter.
After considering the age group and the words that actually began with 'X' I further understood Dr. Suess's intentions. Not only does this book rhyme like all other Dr. Seuss books do, it also uses alliteration. Alliteration is important for this book in particular since it not only teaches children the letters of the alphabet, but it also teaches phonics. For example, the letter “C” has two sounds, the page about the letter “C” incorporated the hard “C” sound as well as the soft “C” sound by using words such as “ceiling.” Alliteration is also fun in this book; learning alliteration is enjoyable for kids because Not only does this book rhyme like all other Dr.

Another example would be the letter “J” words such as “jelly”, “jar”, and “Jordan’s.” The pictures reflected the words, which was very helpful since I would never know what a “Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz” was.
The pictures also allow children to connect letters, and their sounds, with objects they see daily. Personal Response: I read this book to my cousin Mason and he love this book. He is three years old and loved it. He wanted me to keep reading it to him over and over again. Summary: This book teaches he person that reads it the alphabet. It has pictures for every letter show a object that starts with a that letter. It also shows different words that start with the letter.
It asks what words starts with the letter and then says words that starts with the letter. Then at the end of the book it show Personal Response: I read this book to my cousin Mason and he love this book. He is three years old and loved it.

It also shows different words that start with the letter. It asks what words starts with the letter and then says words that starts with the letter. Then at the end of the book it shows the whole alphabet and more pictures. Recommendation: I recommend this book to little kids from like 2 to 6. It would help them learn their alphabet. You should keep reading it to them until they learn there whole alphabet.

This Has Been An Official Review From Bradman, Look Out For Other Reviews By Bradman, And I Hope You Like them. I read this book with my two-year-old nephew, who had just woken up and wanted to read a book with me. He just pointed at a book, and then backed into my lap and it was the cutest thing EVER.
As I read the book to him, he pointed at each thing and named the color. I thought it was great for its clarity in the images, which made it easy for him to point and talk about each letter, but a lot of the nonsense words seemed to not interest him since he liked being able to name things.

He graduated Dartmouth College in 1925, and proceeded on to Oxford University with the intent of acquiring a doctorate in literature.

He graduated Dartmouth College in 1925, and proceeded on to Oxford University with the intent of acquiring a doctorate in literature.
At Oxford he met Helen Palmer, who he wed in 1927. He returned from Europe in 1927, and began working for a magazine called Judge, the leading humor magazine in America at the time, submitting both cartoons and humorous articles for them. Additionally, he was submitting cartoons to Life, Vanity Fair and Liberty. In some of his works, he'd made reference to an insecticide called Flit.
These references gained notice, and led to a contract to draw comic ads for Flit. This association lasted 17 years, gained him national exposure, and coined the catchphrase 'Quick, Henry, the Flit!' In 1936 on the way to a vaction in Europe, listening to the rhythm of the ship's engines, he came up with And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, which was then promptly rejected by the first 43 publishers he showed it to. Eventually in 1937 a friend published the book for him, and it went on to at least moderate success.
During WW II, Geisel joined the army and was sent to Hollywood. Captain Geisel would write for Frank Capra's Signal Corps Unit (for which he won the Legion of Merit) and do documentaries (he won Oscar's for Hitler Lives and Design for Death). He also created a cartoon called Gerald McBoing-Boing which also won him an Oscar. In May of 1954, Life published a report concerning illiteracy among school children. The report said, among other things, that children were having trouble to read because their books were boring. This inspired Geisel's publisher, and prompted him to send Geisel a list of 400 words he felt were important, asked him to cut the list to 250 words (the publishers idea of how many words at one time a first grader could absorb), and write a book. Nine months later, Geisel, using 220 of the words given to him published The Cat in the Hat, which went on to instant success.
In 1960 Bennett Cerf bet Geisel $50 that he couldn't write an entire book using only fifty words. The result was Green Eggs and Ham. Cerf never paid the $50 from the bet.
Helen Palmer Geisel died in 1967. Theodor Geisel married Audrey Stone Diamond in 1968. Theodor Seuss Geisel died 24 September 1991. Also worked under the pen name.
