How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we donโ€™t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

3.0 out of 5 starsA decent story, but not when compared to Seuss's other work
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on September 16, 2014
I don't recall reading this one when I was a child (and I thought I had read all of Dr. Seuss's catalogue) but, compared to his other works, this one is a bit weak. Also, and I've seen other reviewers mention it, he does use the words "dumb" and "stupid", the former more than once. IF those are words you're trying to avoid, best to avoid this book as well. Normally his stories have a positive, or, at the least, a thought-provoking message, but this one starts with a kid who's bored and can't decide what to do (fertile ground for a morality play) and ends up deciding, after a lengthy debate with himself, to eat 6 hot dogs. It's silly, as it is meant to be, but not exactly where I had hoped the story was going. On a final note, he also casts homework and bike maintenance in a negative light, which I thought was strange.

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointed in Dr. Seuss's word choices...
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on December 27, 2011
Verified Purchase
We love Dr. Seuss, and our goal is to slowly buy our kids his whole collection. His stories are so engaging and offer really worthwhile themes and lessons for parents to talk about with their children. So when it came time for Christmas, I started looking for the next book to buy, and unfortunately, settled on this one. I realize not everyone is particular about how they speak to their children and what words kids learn, but we try to avoid words like 'stupid' and 'dumb'. This book uses both; those are not concepts I want my three-year-old or one-year-old to learn. Besides the poor language choices, the book seems pointless compared to many of his other books. Definitely disappointed with this book and my hunch is to be more selective in choosing next time!

2.0 out of 5 stars Definitely not the best
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on April 14, 2010
I mean, it's okay... but when compared to almost any other Dr. Seuss book, it is sub par.

I picked this book up at the library for my 3 1/2 year old because I had never seen this particular Dr. Seuss book before. I realized right away that this was one of his more modern books (he even mentions video games!). My son loves it-- he had me read it over and over again. The main problem I see in this book are certain phrases that I really don't want him to start repeating, namely "stupid schlopp" and "dumb a dunce." After my husband read the book to him, he actually called him a stupid schlopp, not realizing that it was bad, so we had to have a conversation with him about certain words not being polite.

Other than that, the book really isn't as magical as some of the other ones. I don't think it makes much sense. Sure, we all get "hunches" about what we should do and sometimes it's hard to make up our mind, but the hunches that the little boy experiences aren't the best examples. I don't really understand what up and down hunches are.

Sigh. I don't know. It's definitely not one that I need in our children's book collection, and I'll be relieved to return it to the library.

KD Jones
2.0 out of 5 stars one of my least favorite suess books
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on July 8, 2001
I ADORE Dr. Seuss. In fact, I'm pretty sure that his work is the source of a sizeable chunk of my love for language in general, and for poetry. In fact, I think my love for Shakespeare started as a child, with Dr. Suess. This stuff was really profound for me.
But I have to say, if Geisel really did write this one, he was NOT in top form. The music of his language is missing - some of the verses are downright clunky, and the usual depth is lost in horrific lines like "... together we'll trot to some real cool spot and play a few video games."
Maybe he was trying to be contemporary. And some of the illustrations here really ARE wonderful, but I have to say, this Seuss lover (who now spends as much as an hour and a half a day reading the stuff to his own daughter, who love it) finds this one way off the mark.
