Title: There’s a Wocket in my Pocket!
Author: Dr.Seuss
Publisher: Random House, 1996
Genre: Picture book
Age Range: K-1
Summary: It’s a silly story about a little boy who goes around and finds make believe creatures in or on things that rhyme with it. For example he finds a zamp in a lamp. And a Wocket in his pocket.
Response: This is definitely a lower grade book. But kids love silly! And that’s what Dr.Suess’s books are. They have bright images and silly words; it’s a tongue twister that I think kindergartener or first graders would really like.
Teaching Ideas: This would be a good book to look at rhyming words in an English curriculum. You could even have the students draw a make believe creature in or on an object and name it something that rhymed with the object.
