Summary:
A collection on six different books by Dr. Seuss. Books include; Great Day for Up, a book about waking up; Would You Rather Be a Bullfrog?, a book about decisions; I Wish That I Had Duck Feet, about a boy who decides it is best to be himself; Wacky Wednesday, about a boy whose day was a bit strange; Maybe You Should Fly a Jet! Maybe You Should Be A Vet!, about picking a job/career; and I Am NOT Going to Get Up Today, about a young boy determined to lay in bed all day.

Evaluation:
Dr. Seuss is always a classic go to, but here is a collection of his simpler but still amazing books. This compilation is great for a child's shelf. For early readers this is a great book to be read and to read themselves. The pictures help fill in any blanks and the text is relevant.

Once trusting, and the most vulnerable, the fly finds herself captured and eaten. Evaluation: Kind of an eerie book, but it would be beneficial to teach children about stranger danger and other deceitful dangers that they can not discern from on their own yet.
