Reader Reviews from Amazon.com:
Changed a 4-year old's outlook 
I initially rejected this, my first book from the public library at age 4, because of the cruelty of the barbed fish-hook on the cover. My father said that I should reconsider and not judge a book by its cover (indeed, inside the book no fish-hook hurts a fish). He added the related proverb, "all that glitters is not gold." His message was that I needed to look beyond appearances. That was similar to two themes from that first book - imagining adventures beyond what was immediately seen and faithfully pursuing your visions in the face of discouragement from "realists." These three interlocking themes continue in my life 61 years later. Recently I purchased a copy of "McElligot's Pool" and read it to my adult son who then read it to my father. Highly recommended.
dont buy from A-1 books 
I purchased the book from amazon on the 3rd of September. Its now the 14th of october, still no book. On the 12th I sent a complaint to A-1, they issued a refund, end of story. no attempt to line me up with the another book. Thanks for nothing.
Excellent Quality
Quality hard cover book, absolutely the best Dr Seuss story of all time, IMPOSSIBLE to get in Australia. Order this book, it is truly the best thing you will ever do for your child, full of wonderful pictures.
Classic Dr. Suess
This is a classic Dr. Suess book from my childhood. I have read it over and over again to my kids, and now I am reading it to my grandchildren. This book ranks right up there with The Cat in the Hat for entertainment value, for some reason it was a Dr. Suess book that wasn't as well known. Thank goodness my grandmother was a librarian and sent it to me for my 5th birthday. Your kids will LOVE this book, and adults actually enjoy reading it, too!
Wonderful Story I had somehow missed
I thought I knew all the Dr. Seuss books, but this one came to my attention recently and I had never heard of it before. I bought it immediately in order to read it to my youngest daughter before she outgrows children's books. She loved the story and I had one more wonderful message to give her from Dr. Seuss, "Keep thinking of all the wonderful things that are possible!"
