Book Reviews of Dr. Seuss's ABC: An Amazing Alphabet Book!
Book Review: B, b, what begins with B? Bastardized Board Book, B B B
Summary: 1 Stars
The original book is great, but this edition has been butchered beyond belief. All the original pictures have been preserved, but the text has been chopped up to fit into the size limits of the format. For example, P: "Painting Pink Pajamas, Policeman in a a Pail. Peter Pepper's puppy. And now Papa's in the pail." becomes "Painting some pajamas pink. P...p...P." Spend the money and get the full-sized version.Book Review: Hatchet job on original
Summary: 1 Stars
The original Seuss ABC is a lot of fun; good rhyme and meter. This one has been horribly hacked up to fit the board book format. For example, the original entry for X is: "X is very useful if your name is Nixie Knox. It also comes in handy spelling ax and extra fox." Silly and bouncy. The board book version says: "X-ray and xylophone."
Book Review: Making it up as you go along

Dr Seuss' ABC If you think this book will increase yourchild's vocabulary or comprehension of the alphabet, you're wasting your time. Dr Seuss shows us again that the secret to poetry is making up your own words....
Book Review: A Seuss Standard
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a Seuss classic that brings back fond memories from my childhood.Book Review: The first edition is abridged enough
Summary: 2 Stars
I don't understand why reviewers think a revised edition is required for younger babies. My son of 6 months pays full attention to the unabridged edition, from A to Z and loves it. The only nice thing about this new edition is the board book format. The "revisions" are lame and unwarranted.
