This is an evil kid’s book, for sure. Pick it up and you’ll be condemned to a near eternity of grueling tongue twisters. And your kid will love it… Not because it’s one of Seuss’s masterpieces, but because he or she will enjoy watching you sweat like a hog as you labor from page to page and go purple in the face while you silently (with any luck) curse yourself for buying the thing.

    But that’s a completely ACCURATE review, it’s just the reviewer seems not to understand that that’s why it’s a FIVE-star book! 😀

    One of my absolute favorites! I make sure to read it every year on Read Across America Day. Here’s a video of one year’s attempt: http://sonderbooks.com/blog/?p=2815
