Dr. Seuss. (1974). There's a wocket in my pocket. New York, NY: Random House.
I chose There's a wocket in my pocket as a picture book because the pictures are amazing!
They are so colorful and bright. The pictures go right along with the story too!! (silly)
He uses rhyming in this book, real words to nonsense words. (nink, sink;zable table) I believe he also uses imagery. All those "colorful" nonsense words make students imagine what they look like.
The students will connect with this story, because it is fun to read, or be read to. You can even have them make up their own nonsense words and discuss what they are and/or look like.
Big questions:
What are some of the made up words?
What is the author doing with the words? (rhyming)
Would you like to live in that house?
