I am always last to to tuck my 6-year old godson in when I go to visit. I kissed him and literally tucked his blankets up underneath him (::giggling:: "Why do you always do that?" "Because you are my Christo-burrito"), and as I made to leave, he said, "Will you read me a story?"
Way past his bedtime, but I can never resist. I didn't have anything good on my tablet, so I ran into the playroom, and looked at the extensive collection of children's books. I'd never read this Dr. Seuss book before, so away we went.
Longer than I'm normally allowed to read him past his bedtime, but so sweet. He and I both had a good giggle at the silly things that happened when the boy got his new animal parts. When it was discovered he couldn't get on the school bus with his giant horns, Christopher wisely said, "Uh, why doesn't he just go on sideways?"
So so so cute. You can never go wrong with Seuss.

I may have read this book growing up but do not remember for sure. I did read it to kids i watch in a daycare but think they were too young to really pay attention, but it was fun to read. I've always liked Dr. Seuss and I like the silliness and that hopefully it inspires children to use their imaginations.

An amusing book about a boy who wishes to have all sorts of unique parts like duck feet, a long, long tail, and others. He imagines how people would respond and how it would effect his ability to go to school among other activities, and concludes that he just wishes to be himself.
Age appropriate for 4-9 year olds.
The text rhymes throughout the book, making it a fun read-aloud and an opportune book for students to identify rhyming words in.

Kind of a lame ending. But it's fun to consider how your life could be different if only. And yes you could wish for a bigger house, or a faster car or tastier food - but duck feet are much cooler. Fun to read and with good enough art.
