Product Description
Illus. in full color. The meanings of “up” are conveyed with merry verse and illustrations in a happy book that celebrates the joy of life.
Dr. Seuss has some really brilliant books. This book is just a so-so Dr. Seuss. As a parent who is familiar with about 15 Dr. Seuss books, this is one of my least favorite books.
The book attempts to teach the child what “Up” means. There is a terrific amount of repetition, and the cleverness in the rhyming and pictures is not “Up!” to par with other Dr. Seuss books.
My 6-month old children are too young to understand this book, but I think that Mommy and Daddy will tire of the book long before they have gotten the very simple and trivial message in this book : what is the difference between Up and Down …

The book was about everyone waking up, getting outside, and having fun. All the characters interacted together, the played outside, and everyone made new friends. I enjoyed reading this book, just he way Dr. Seuss wrote it makes you want to keep reading it. It kept me entertained even though I’m not a little kid. Children between the ages of 4-8 will love this book. It teaches kids to wake up, get out and play, and just have fun; instead of just wasting their time inside doing nothing and watching T.V. If the kids couldn’t read then this would be a good book to help them out with because there’s not a lot of writing and the words are easy. I loved the ending of the book but you’ll have to read it to find out!!

Ya, ya, ya so this book teaches about the meanings of the word “up”. But, to me that takes a backseat to the fun rhythm and rhymes that make a child WANT to be able to read the book by themselves. The small vocabulary, phonetically spelled words and visual clues are wonderful for early readers. My step-son enjoys reading this book together at bedtime and can actually read it to US now. I love the “bright and early” books from Dr. Seuss for building early reading skills.

I purchased this copy for my granddaughters’ school library. It came in a reasonable time and is in reasonable condition. The librarian was happy with it.
