Children's Corner: The Foot Book

Review: We've had this book since my daughter was younger and it's one my kids always pick out when they want whimsy.

For my son, we really honed in on it about a year ago when he was having issues with rhyming. This was one of many great, simple Dr. Seuss books to use. Now, he pulls it off the shelf and reads it to me. He thinks the words are funny and the illustrations are even more funny. If he asks me to pick a book for him to read, I'll typically pick this. Not only can he read it but he's starting to get quicker at reading it as well.

Now that he's mastered this one, we'll move on to some of the other more complex Dr. Seuss books.

Children's Corner: Oh The Places You'll Go

Review: Ok, I admit it until a few weeks ago I have never read this particular Dr. Seuss book and I am sorry that I hadn't experienced it as a child. My son and I picked this one out from the library but it will be one that I purchase soon.

This is a book that can be read and re-read until the end of time. It is such a positive message to kids. It shows them that they can go anywhere and do anything as long as they believe in themselves. I believe this is imperative to drill into our kids heads. They shouldn't learn until later in life that you can't do everything. :)

I think it's a great book to visit or revisit as an adult. Perhaps, it might put some things in perspective for us older children.

I've always enjoyed Dr. Seuss books and I'm so happy that I found this gem of a book. If you haven't read it, then I highly encourage you to pick it up and do so.
