One Fish two fish red fish blue fish

Yeah, I did read a Dr. Seuss book and it was AWESOME! I haven't read one for close to five years. I think they got better, even though that is probably really hard to believe. Before i just read them as a little kid to read. Now I read them and think," wow it must be really hard to rhyme so many things and have make as much sense as it does. He also uses repetition, something i didn't realize before. He also has some onomatopeias in it.
He writes, " Bump!
Bump!
Bump!
Did you ever ride a Wump?
We have a Wump
with just one hump.
The way Seuss rhymes, it makes everything roll of your tongue with less effort. I could more words per minute out of one of his books than out of a regular book. He makes his books flow and fun. Something that more readers need to do to get kids hooked on reading. If you haven't read a Dr. Seuss book lately, i say you take the five minutes out of your day to relive some childhood. You'll enjoy it, promise.
