There's a Wocket in my Pocket by Dr. Seuss

              There’s a Wocket in my Pocket by Dr. Seuss is a simple, silly book for young children.  The story is about a boy who lives in a house where it is common to find a zamp in a lamp, or a nink in the sink.  With some exceptions the boy enjoys all of the “things” that he finds.  The colors added to the illustrations create personality to the story and allows the cartoons to stand out.   

It introduces children to rhyming and understanding the concept of reading as well as difficult vocabulary such as cupboard.  Dr. Seuss uses “silly” words to allow readers and students to use their imagination and create their own words.  This book would be of good use in a classroom to allow children to explore such words.
