There’s a Wocket in My Pocket by Dr. Seuss (1974 1st ed.) 21 pages.

Who doesn’t love Dr. Seuss’s rhymes. This is a cute, small board book…perfect bedtime story. Gave to my grandi, Henri, for his 6th birthday. ( )

The book starts off with a little boy asking did you ever feel there’s a Wasket in your Basket. And then the boy explores around the house, finding more rhyming monster-looking creatures. He is happy with most of them. But he wishes some were never there. Finally, he snoozes off with a Zillow on his pillow, hoping he never leaves the house.

Dr. Seuss’ books don’t need an intro. Notably, there’s a wocket in my pocket. It’s silly and, in parts, weird. The illustrations are apt for the text, and this one will surely give you jiggles and chuckles.
Pick this book if you are a fan of Dr. Seuss’ books.

Great for storytime with older kiddos (4-5s). They loved coming up with their own goofy rhymes. ( )

'Not a Doctor' Read the New Yorker article on Seuss Seuss was an artist with all the usual cluelessness. as the context for a genius which 'he did not know that he knew'. People were a mystery, but he zeroed in on specific features and his aim was unerring..He really neither knew nor liked real kids (and had none) but he knew what they wanted.

I liked this book for younger audiences. Its creative and fun but repetitive. great pictures and as always great rhyming. ( )
