I Wish I Had Duck Feet


I read the children’s book called, ‘I wish I had duck feet.’

This children’s book was written by Dr Seuss writing as Theo LeSieg and illustrated by BTOBEY.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a little boy that has a great imagination.

First, the little boy wanted duck feet, then it was horns, changed to a spout, a tail and then to a long, long nose.

His mother wasn’t impressed with the things that he wanted, banning them from the house until he was sorted.

So, what do you think he chose in the end?

Well he couldn’t decide and so wanted them all but now he’s locked up in a cage in the zoo!

To find out what happened next, why not read the book or watch the story on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

It’s a great book for young children that encourages creativity and imagination.

So, which one would you prefer; duck feet, horns, a spout, tail or long, long nose?

What Are You Scared Of?

I read the children’s book called, ‘What Was I Scared Of,’ the other day.

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Dr Seuss.

This children’s story is fantastic, like all of Dr Seuss stories.

It tells a very unusual tale of pale green pants that have a mind of their own, but when the narrator comes across the empty pale green pants he gets very scared indeed, as throughout the story it appears that the empty pale green pants are stalking him.

But when they eventually meet face to face the narrator finds that the empty pale green pants are just as scared of him as he is of the pants and after calming the pants down they become friends.

It’s a delightful story of an unusual friendship that I would recommend reading with young children.

So read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?

Do You Like Green Eggs And Ham?

I read one of my favourite books the other day called ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ written and illustrated by Dr Seuss.

A very entertaining and funny children’s story about a character called ‘Sam I Am’ that keeps pestering his friend about eating green eggs and ham, throughout the story his friend refuses but at the end decides to try them and guess what? He liked them.

The rhyming and illustrations of the book are wonderfully done.

It’s an enjoyable book that I would definitely recommend reading to children.

So my final thoughts on this are; could I eat green eggs and ham?

I don’t think so ‘Sam I Am’ I prefer a dish of fish!

 Now how’s that for rhyming?


Read the book and tell me what you think?
