Book Reviews of One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (I Can Read It All by Myself)
Book Review: A review of the Vinyl Bath Book edition only!
Summary: 4 Stars
Since my 7-month-old still thinks books are for putting in your mouth, I've been buying him bath books. I bought this one sight unseen from Amazon, and as much as I love the classic "One Fish, Two Fish," I was a little disappointed. First, the book is small, even for a bath book (about 4x6 inches -- the "8.3 x 4.8" dimensions in the Amazon description are just plain WRONG). Second, the book was shorter than I expected. It consists only of the first 8 pages of the original "One Fish." Of course, the baby doesn't know how abridged the book is, so he enjoys it. And the colors are bright, the printing is sharp, and the overall package is high-quality and holds up to lots of handling. But there's not much there to read to him.
Overall, if you're looking for a durable "One Fish" edition that's good for mealtimes, or bath time, or for taking in the stroller, this is an excellent buy. Just be aware that it's no substitute for the real thing.

First you read it to your little one, who loses interest and then you recycle it as an easy to read book for a beginning reader....Book Review: Ouch
Summary: 2 Stars
The more Dr. Seuss books I read, the more I wonder why people love his books so much. The original books are WAY to long (buy the board books!) and remind me of the study that shows that kids these days have a shorter attention span than in the past--15-30 seconds, the length of time of a commercial on TV. Maybe it's not the commercials that did it, but rather Dr. Seuss. After about the third page, this book switches from fish to other creatures. This really confused me. From the title, I expected the whole book to be about fish, and opposites, or at least different descriptors. But not only is it not just fish, after the third page, the whole thing falls apart. Each page has nothing to do with the following page. Why were these pages put together to form one book? Who knows. To the reviewer who says he can read it in any order--this isn't Choose Your Own Adventure. It's _supposed_ to be a sequential book.Book Review: Always a Joy!
Summary: 5 Stars
As with every book that Dr.Suess wrote this one is yet another pleasure for young and old. Being a little bit longer than the norm just gives more pages of giggles and time to share with your little one.
Illustrations are bright and colorful helping to bring every word to life. Lots of fun for everyone.

Summary: 4 Stars
Not my favorite Dr. Seuss, if only because it's a little long.
A Dr. Seuss that's long is wrong -
My child falls asleep too fast!
Too many pages, he can't last.
Yeah, Dr. Seuss is always a favorite, but this one was one my kid always fell asleep during. He didn't hear the end of the book for years! As a storytime title, rather than a NAPtime choice, though, it's a great book for little ones. You might get tongue-tied reading it, but that's okay, too - you'll laugh together, reading will be fun and everything will work out perfectly!
