Hooray for Diffendoofer Day! : Prelutsky, Jack: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: A delightful read - Brilliant book - not much of a fan or dr Seuss at all. However, this is one of the most delightful picture books in my collection. Definitely an underrated narrative as the story it tells is one that reminds educators of the “grass roots” of what teaching is about. Review: Hooray - This is a great book for children and adults. It is profound, funny and beautifully illustrated with a host of visual references to the Dr Seuss originals. It shuld be required reading for every trainee teacher in the land.

A delightful read
Brilliant book - not much of a fan or dr Seuss at all. However, this is one of the most delightful picture books in my collection. Definitely an underrated narrative as the story it tells is one that reminds educators of the “grass roots” of what teaching is about.

Amazing book
Brilliant book with a great message. Very good for teachers/anybody training as a teacher. Very similar to 'Ooh, the places you'll go) which I think should be compulsory reading!

I bought this book for teacher appreciation week for two teachers and they both loved it. I admit I read them before I gifted them and It is an amazing story of teaching children to think differently and to be confident in what they learn, my favorite line is "we taught you how to think" Mrs. Bonkers is a wonderful teacher and all the characters have special talents. The teachers LOVED this book, I was there when one of the teachers read it to the class, a second grade class and the kids were laughing out loud and the fact that the book has the original sketches and background history in it really impressed the teacher, she was so excited. This book is great for teachers or parents, I admit after giving the teachers their book I had to buy my own copy :)

I found the message from this story very helpful for my gr3 students who will be taking provincial testing. It's all about doing the best you can do on a test. Highly recommend to fellow teachers.

Thinking out of the box....the true legacy of Dr. Seuss. Not one way of teaching - but multiple ways of teaching to excite a child and have them truly enjoy learning. A great teacher goes beyond teaching to a minimal state test. A great teacher teachers their students "to think." Our children are not robots and one size never fits all. I am a clinical faculty member working with teachers in a teacher preparation program which trains teachers to be "diffendooferous" and to always grow, learn, and think out of the box for the benefit of their students. This book is a perfect way to sum up the experience. I have even animated a PowerPoint presentation to go with this dynamic reading which is a big hit at our graduation ceremony each semester. Thank you for this wonderful book.
