Horn Book (Sat Apr 01 00:00:00 CST 2000)

"Everyone wants / a big green kangaroo. / Maybe, perhaps, / you would like / to have TWO." On the First of Octember, everyone's most outrageous fantasies will be fulfilled, according to this humorous, lively verse, which Seuss originally published under a pen name. Although Cumings's cartoon-style art seems a bit dated, it playfully illustrates the wacky wishes listed in the easy-to-read text.

Dr. Seuss imagines a day when all your wishes come true in this classic Beginner Book. Octember the First is the day on which all your most outlandish wishes come true. If March is too dusty and April too gusty, if May is too early and June is too soon, just try to remember the first of Octember, when whatever you are hoping to get will be yours! From a balloon pool in the sky to a pickle tree in your backyard, Please Try to Remember the First of Octember! is a wildly silly story that will have readers laughing—and wishing—out loud.
