Title: pure pataphysics
Product review: The tone of There's a Wocket in My Pocket is whimsical, playful, and fun. Full-page, colorful illustrations in Seuss' unique and eccentric style will win over second-grade readers. Dr. Seuss, in contrast to many authors, offers a world all of his own design: lamps, clocks, and other objects are imaginatively and creatively represented. The central innovation of this book is the replacement of the first letter of common words. "Pocket" becomes "wocket." Readers are challenged to read words phonically rather than by recognition. Dr. Seuss, having thereby invented an imaginary word, then invents an imaginary creature to correspond to the word. The central character finds some of these creatures more to his liking than others. The book is a marvel of pataphysics, a companion to the work of Lewis Carroll and James Joyce.
