Hooray for Deffendoofer Day! By Dr. Seuss

I loved this book! It is by Dr. Seuss but I have never read it before. It's one of those books where the cover does not do it justice. The pictures on the inside are phenomenal. They use vibrant colors, and detail. There are unique looking characters, everyone has different skin tones, color and style of hair, different size noses, ears, and body shapes. There are some pictures that have cutouts from other Dr. Seuss books such as Green Eggs and Ham and The Lorax. The pictures use the space well by having some pictures go off the edge to create interest. The text is all over the page, so you never expect where it will be.

There are made up words which are fun for kids. I know that I loved to make up names and words when I was younger. In fact I went through a phase where everything of mine was named Pompine and Takeed, and my family is still confused about where I cam eup with those. There are also made up inventions like how to keep the school clean with the "super-zooper-flooper-do-"

This book is about a school and it describes all of the teachers and the subjects they teach. When it talks about the librarian, the illustration includes about ten covers of other Dr. Seuss books-what a cute idea? In this book kids love school which is a great message for students who read this book. There are quite a few words on each page, but they rhyme so the reading flows nicely. This is an awesome book for teachers, i want it for my classroom! It is a fun book for kids to read!!
