I truly believe reading this book made me a kinder person. I reread whenever I was feeling mean, growing up. Seuss shaped entire generations' social consciences, whether intentionally or not. My gosh, we owe a lot to this man. He is all the good things in childhood incarnate.
Hats off to you, Dr. Dec 31, P. Winn rated it really liked it. You have to pick up the fun rhyming books by Dr. I thnk kids will love this one with the characters and their so fun alphabetical names. Oct 15, Luisa Knight rated it it was ok Shelves: i-can-read , children.
A little boy won't be invited to the party, but after some thought, he'll be included too. I also have hundreds of detailed reports that I offer too. These reports give a complete break-down of everything in the book, so you'll know just how clean it is or isn't. Visit my website!

This is more of an ABC book than a beginning reader, and does a fair job of introducing the sounds by rattling off the names of children by letter.
This, however, isn't the most effective way of introducing emerging readers to the alphabet and there are better options out there, including one done by Dr. Seuss himself. Other reviewers have mentioned that they are bothered by the story because Hooper is excluded, and only included at the end because the party is too good to miss. It does seem an This is more of an ABC book than a beginning reader, and does a fair job of introducing the sounds by rattling off the names of children by letter.
It does seem an uncharacteristically cruel plot device, and disappointing that Hooper gives in and runs to the party once he's invited. Still, though, it contains the catchy rhymes Seuss is known for and some children will enjoy it. Apr 18, Sade' rated it really liked it Shelves: children-s-literature. Hooper Humperdink by Dr. Seuss is an bright and early book designed for a lower age group. It is intended for age level This bright and early book uses humor, rhythm, and limited vocabulary that encourages preschoolers to discover the delights of reading for themselves.
I give this book a 4 star rating. It is about a youngster who plans a huge spectacular party inviting friends whose name begin with every letter from A-Z, except for one person and that is Hooper Humperdink! This book is ver Hooper Humperdink by Dr. This book is very funny, of course it's a Dr.
Seuss book. I think it promotes friendship, fairness, sharing, and kindness. I would recommend this book to all children, I think they would enjoy it. Dec 31, Angela Kalnins rated it it was amazing. When my daughter was born in we were given this book as a gift at our baby shower. We began reading it to her almost the moment she was born. It's a cute, funny little story and she loved it. So much so, that for the next 10 years or so we HAD to read it at least once a day.
At some point, over time, we lost the original copy. When I found it again on Amazon, I just had to have it. We gave it to her for Christmas last year. She turned 26 in October! Yet, when she opened it, she squealed jus When my daughter was born in we were given this book as a gift at our baby shower.
Yet, when she opened it, she squealed just like she used to! Would recommend this book to any parent or grandparent of a young child! May 19, Sarah rated it it was ok Shelves: kids. I read this book to my children as a bedtime story, and I wasn't really impressed. Hooper Humperdink is continuously left out, to the extent that the kids would rather invite practically anyone on the planet to join their fun other than Hooper. I was expecting at least some sort of a lesson at the end, but was disappointed.
In a culture where bullying is constantly on parent's minds, I can't endorse a story that encourages kids to single out and refuse to include one of their peers. I know, it's I read this book to my children as a bedtime story, and I wasn't really impressed. I know, it's only a kids story, meant in good fun, but there are plenty of other good fun stories with messages that I can agree with that I would much rather include in our collection.

This book did not carry the "zing" that makes all of Dr. Seuss' books so loveable. I think it was partly due to the new illustrations. They did not match the Seuss style of zingy and zangy. The pictures felt flat to me. All through the book I waited to find out something good that kept the unknown person from inviting Hooper to his birthday party, but it never comes.
In the end, he allows Hooper to come bec This book did not carry the "zing" that makes all of Dr. In the end, he allows Hooper to come because the party is simply too good to miss. I am disappointed in the message this sends and that they felt this book needed new illustration. Mar 03, Sarah Adamson rated it it was ok Shelves: children-s , picture-books-challenge.
So far my least favorite Seuss book. I like the rhyming and the way the book works through the alphabet using names and words with the right letter. However the overall premise of the book is that someone is having a party and not inviting someone they don't like.
I want my daughter to feel she doesn't have to be with someone she doesn't like. Yet she has also been on the other end and has been the one not invited and feels very left out. She cried during this book, worried about Hooper being made So far my least favorite Seuss book. She cried during this book, worried about Hooper being made to feel sad. A truly complex issue - how to fit in yet be yourself.
Nov 26, Roy rated it liked it. Although I understand why some do not like this book and while I do agree that this isn't one of Dr. Suess' strong books, I think this is still a good book! Besides the fact that the rhyming and alphabet learning is as great as ever, I think it is a good look at why humans sometimes exclude others.
It isn't logical, there is no rhyme or reason for it, and I think Dr. Seuss was trying to bring that to light and then show in the end that this whole life is really something far too spectacular to e Although I understand why some do not like this book and while I do agree that this isn't one of Dr.
Seuss was trying to bring that to light and then show in the end that this whole life is really something far too spectacular to exclude anyone. That's my take on it at least. May 27, A. Bauch rated it did not like it Shelves: children-young-adult , fiction , borrowed-from-library. I vacillated between giving this one and two stars. Works based on his original stories have won three Oscars, three Emmys, three Grammys, and a Peabody.
The rediscovered book captures a classic childhood moment the selection of a pet and uses it to illustrate a life-lesson: that it is hard to make up your mind, but that sometimes you just have to do it!
