Seuss. I have to remember that this book was written back before political corectness went haywire. This beast is the beast that the brave chieftans ride.A Mulligatawny is fine for my zoo, and so is a chieftan. The first words out of my daughter's mouth were, "Hey mommy, if ~I~ ran the zoo, I would."Good `Ol Dr. Not my favorite Dr. I'll bring back one too." and "I'll go to the African island of Yerka" which isn't bad, but the illustration, of two black men looking more like monkey than men is quite bad by todays standard.There are a few more P.R.
The brain of Dr. I had a little giggle to myself about the "helpers who wear their eyes at a slant," and ".from the blistering sands of the Desert of Zind. Even though the rhyming got to be tricky reading aloud for my tried at 8pm brain, everyone enjoyed it.This book actually recieved a Caldecott Honor in 1951. things your wouldn't see nowdays, but you have to date it to the time when it was written. It is still a great, creative story. Seuss.to come up with so many original and off-the-wall animals and characters in his books.
Seuss book by a long shot but still worth a read.
The crazy animals are so fun and just get more and more extravagant as the book goes on. We loved it so much so that I bought it for one of my nephews since he is also a big Dr.
Seuss book until someone bought it for my son. I had never heard of this Dr.
Seuss always has great books. He loves it, of course.
Dr. Seuss fan.
It is fun for me and my son to read.
Reach for "On Beyond Zebra" instead, which has the same type of fanciful imaginings but minus the offensive renderings of "Africans" and "Asians".
This book will be perfect for my Grandson's 5th birthday. He loves Dr. Seuss.
What can I say. This is by Dr. Seuss, the best children's book author of all time. 'Nuff said.
