This was a very charming little book. I found with this book that I actually thought it was a little too long. The jokes kind of got old after a while. It was cute for the first 30 pages but then after that it was kind of like, okay get to the point already.

Yes, it's imaginative; yes, the pictures are fun. But overall, I didn't care for this- it was all about stealing eggs from different birds and destroying their nests/habitats in the process (but without being about that, Lorax-style). The main character was just... a bit of a jerk. Leave those birds alone.
(Obviously I read it to find the offensive imagery (as I do). I think it is because there is a character called Ali on 2 pages who wears a turban. I guess?)

Due to controversial imageries I will rate this book 1 star.
Unfortunately, I can't say any good to this book. Illustrations were nice and the story kinda funny, but it wasn't that interesting. But that's only how I felt so perhaps someone else might enjoy it more.

A standalone picture book for children about exploring outside the box.
My Take
It amazes me how well Seuss rhymes his stories. They're so easy to read as he tosses in the odd frizzle of a word to make us laugh.
Reading of the ingredients Peter throws into his eggs make me wonder and gag. A good topic to explore and laugh about with the kids. Definitely get them imagining good ingredients and icky ones. It might inspire you and the kids to get into the kitchen and try out your own combinations. Cooking with the kids encourages them to try out new things and learning a skill is always good for one's self-esteem. Just think of the great memories you're building with your kids!
That ending surprised me. I had expected one reaction and got something completely different…and very, very good! Hopefully it will be as encouraging for your own Scrambled Eggs Super!
The Story
Peter T. Hooper wonders why no one ever scrambles eggs using more exotic varieties, and he's determined to hunt down all the many different kinds of eggs he can possibly find.
The Characters
Peter T. Hooper is quite the ambitious lad with a hankering to try scrambling with more than chicken eggs. Liz is the friend to whom he is bragging.
Friends in Fa-Zoal use a Katta-ma-Side to paddle beyond the North Pole. Ali lives near the jags of Mt. Strookoo.
The exotic eggs include those from a Sala-ma-goox, a Tizzle-Topped Grouse, the sweet ones of the Kweet, the pin-sized eggs of a Kwigger, a Long-Legger Kwong, Grice whose eggs need to be caught up with a Squitsch, that of the three-times bigger than the Pelf, Single-File Zummzian Zuks, Mt. Strookoo Cuckoos, the three-eyelashed Tizzy, the South-West-Facing Crane, the Grickily Gractus who lays in a cactus (it's understandable she'd have a grim look on her face!), the bluff-dwelling Zuffs, a Moth-Watching Sneth, the very small Dawf, layers who live in Zinzibar-Zanzibar trees, and finally the egg of the Bombastic Aghast.
The ones that weren't laying that day included the Mop-Noodled Finch, a Beagle-Beaked-Bald-Headed Grinch, a Shade-Roosting Quail, a Spritz, and a Flannel-Wing Jay.
You want to avoid the eggs of Twiddler Owls and Stroodels.
The Lass-a-lack allows quail to roost under his tail. Wogs are the world's sweetest frogs because they eat bees who only eat blossoms off Beezlenut Trees. One can ride a Ham-ikka-Schnim-ikka-Schnam-ikka Schnopp. A Jill-ikka-Jast is quite fast.
The Cover and Title
The cover has a bright blue background with with text in a bold white font as the black-and-white Seuss-like bird juggles red-and-white polka-dotted eggs in the air.
The title is Peter T. Hooper's plans for a Scrambled Eggs Super!.

Quite possibly my favorite Dr. Seuss book as a kid. Peter T. Hooper goes to the far corners of the world to nab exotic eggs for the ultimate scrambled eggs.
(And you know how they tasted? They tasted just like!)

HarperCollins Children's Books are re-branding and republishing some Dr. Seuss books. Not only are they much brighter but also colour coordinated for reading levels.
Considering how popular Dr. Seuss is, Scrambled Egg Super! was my first ever Dr. Seuss book, so I had no idea what to expect when I opened the pages. The moment I began reading I was hooked.
Peter T Hooper sets out to find in order to use only the best eggs for his scrambled eggs. He travels to find eggs from the Tizzle-Topped Grouse, and the Twiddler Owls, searching in trees, through the country, and up hills. He enlists the help of friends who can travel across waters and to far off places to get these eggs.
I loved how the writing rhymed and flowed throughout the pages of Scrambled Egg Super!. The images are bright and eye catching, and certainly match with the names of some of the birds. This was a short read at 65 pages, but means it's perfect for younger readers.
Blue Back Books for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books for older, more fluent readers to enjoy.
