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?)

Completely bonkers tale of one boys quest to make the perfect scrambled egg supper. It's a wonder he had the energy to make it after going to such extraordinary lengths to find all the different eggs!
This book is another creative and inventive book into the mind of Dr. Seuss. I honestly tell when he puts his heart into his work because the rhymes are spot on, the illustrations are beautiful and the nonsense of it all is intriguing and helps me lost myself into the world of Dr. Seuss.
We are introduced to a boy name Peter T. Hooper (Hooper as in Hula Hoop with an -er) who is bragging to his sister, Liz about the one meal he made one time when his mother was out. He wanted to make scramble eggs but he wanted to make a special type of scramble eggs. So he starts searching for a particular bird and then the madness begins. He simply can't have one or two special eggs so he travels around the world both near and far with special friends to help him find rare eggs. He goes on a rampage with these birds and I got so giddy from reading it. By the end of it he makes the scramble eggs and supposedly they are best scramble eggs he's ever made and eaten.
I really enjoyed this book because of the pure imagination of different birds. I love how Dr. Seuss created different birds, giving them unique and peculiar names and at the same time he made them the lines rhyme and it was easy to read and understand. I am shocked that this book hasn't gotten much attention as his other famous works because I believe any child would love this book especially it dealing with birds and food.

Not sure exactly what all the fuss was about this one. Maybe the helpers from around the world?
YOU ARE ALL WRONG. THIS IS THE VERY BESTEST DR. SEUSS BOOK, BECAUSE IT WAS THE ONE I READ FIRST.
THAT MAKES IT THE BEST. SHUT UP WITH YOUR LOGIC.

OK, I don't like this book. It's boring.
BUT!
My little daughter enjoys it so much that just today she asked me to read it again, as soon as I finished it. And she's never asked this in her whole life (almost 4 yrs)!
I know that lots of people think it's not nice that the boy takes the eggs. It is stealing.
But come on! The boy BOASTS! Our little readers KNOW it is just fantasy, these birds do not exist, so Peter couldn't take their eggs.
So, calm down, and read it when your child asks so :)

This book is so long! Typical Dr. Seuss silliness, this time looking at different kinds of birds.
