There's a Wocket in my Pocket

The book "There's a Wocket In My Pocket" is just like any other Dr. Seuss book, it rhymes, its got weird words, and its funny. The Story is about a young boy whose house is filled with weird things, some of them are nice some of them are mean. He takes you through the house and shows you all the things in his house. There really isn't a lesson to be taught in this book, it's just a fun story. I would say that this book could be read by anybody and they could still find that's it's a good book.

pure pataphysics

The tone of There's a Wocket in My Pocket is whimsical, playful, and fun. Full-page, colorful illustrations in Seuss' unique and eccentric style will win over second-grade readers. Dr. Seuss, in contrast to many authors, offers a world all of his own design: lamps, clocks, and other objects are imaginatively and creatively represented. The central innovation of this book is the replacement of the first letter of common words. "Pocket" becomes "wocket." Readers are challenged to read words phonically rather than by recognition. Dr. Seuss, having thereby invented an imaginary word, then invents an imaginary creature to correspond to the word. The central character finds some of these creatures more to his liking than others. The book is a marvel of pataphysics, a companion to the work of Lewis Carroll and James Joyce.

What do you have in your pocket?

I don't have a wocket in my pocket, but I do have lots of other things! (A pencil, an eraser, calculator, pen, this book, a comfy chair, some snacks, a pair of earmuffs, all the usual things! just kidding!) Seriously, this book is wonderful! I LOVE all the made up animals, like the wocket! It is soooo original!

I love it....... but she doesn't

I love reading this book to my two year old - but she never lets me finish it - instead giving me a different book to read. I sincerely believe it is because she is at a stage of learning real words, and so many words with no meaning either don't intrest her or she just doesn't understand. I think it is definitely for older kids, maybe 3-4 that can understand the difference between words they haven't learned yet and words that are just made up and not real.
