Wacky wednesday!

Hello people! Am here with another book review!

Summer holidays are here and every parent will be going through tough times engaging your tots in healthy and creative activities! Guilty as charged and am no exception here! But viola there is a way out! Books are a great way to engage them. My three year old is not a big fan of sitting patiently through a book unless it really captivates him. One such book is Wacky Wednesday by Dr.Suess.

Dr.Suess is a very famous children's author. After some rave reviews by tweeples and FBians I decided to buy the whole set which is a set of 20 books. Initially he did not show much interest but when we started reading this particular book he took it like a fish to the water. 

The book starts with a small boy waking up only to find things in his room suddenly started to look wacky. We the readers are asked to find out the odd things in the picture and it is a very interactive book. The wacky nature of things gets hard to spot as we keep moving from page to page. But it really excites the kids to find it. In a jiffy he learnt about finding the most difficult concept of finding the odd one out of anything. What a fun way of learning that was.

I did not think of writing a review for this book, till he told me one day that he found the cloth hanger behind the door of our room wacky. I asked him why and he said 'It's hanging in the middle without any support' I told there are hooks behind to support it but I was flabbergasted to think he could relate the book he read to things around him and was able to make connections. It also made him inquisitive about things as to how it works. How is the tree not falling down? How are we standing straight ? It opened our discussion to a whole new set of topics to discuss. I strongly recommend all mommies of toddlers to try this book.

You can order your copy here in the link below for anyone who is interested.
