This is a story by Dr.Seuss about a holiday known as the "First of Octember" in which all of your wishes come true. I always enjoy Dr. Suess books and I believe that they are enjoyed by a very large percentage of children. I believe that these books are so enjoyable because of how the text is

presented. The stories are written completely in rhyme which become almost like a song for students. I believe that it is easier for young readers to read and follow text that rhymes, and the text itself becomes more memorable for them. I also believe that students will be attracted to this book because it is one in the collection of Dr. Seuss books. I believe that since children will recognize the author and the structure of the book, they will be excited to read a story that is familiar to ones that they have heard before. Lastly, I feel that the illustrations are fun and vivid, which would really attract young readers. I definitely would like to use many Dr. Seuss books in my own classroom. Show Less

This book didn’t have much learning content; it was more about asking and receiving. It was an interesting book but I feel like it was more about entertainment than teaching children about something.
