A tour through the alphabet with words combined in silly ways to represent each letter. Favorites include: lazy lion licks a lollipop, ten tired turtles on a tuttle-tuttle tree, and young Yolanda Yorgenson yelling on the back of a yellow yak.

This little book does not belong to the essential Dr. Seuss books, but it still is a fun read, because Dr. Seuss's quirky fantasy is all over the place (Aunt Annie's Alligator, Camel on the Ceiling, a Duck-Dog, etc.). The letter O arguably gets the best rhyme:
O is very useful.
You use it when you say:
"Oscar's only ostrich oiled an orange owl today."

What a fun book to learn the alphabet with. Aside from being just funny, I loved that this book showed both upper and lower case letters.
I think that this is the most amazing alphabet book ever, word-wise. ([b:Animalia|682751|Animalia|Graeme Base|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1344705263s/682751.jpg|2347064] 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"
"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. Great meter. Incredible creativity. How did he manage?

Kept my kid's attention, makes the alphabet exciting.
