I Wish That I Had Duck Feet (Beginner Books) (Beginner) (I Can Read It All by Myself Beginner Books )

by Theo. LeSieg

A young boy weighs the pros and cons of possessing various animal appendages—such as a duck's feet, a deer's antlers, a whale's spout, an elephant's trunk, and a long, long tail—only to decide that he's better off just being himself. A zany, insightful story that beginning readers will wish to hear again and again!

Reviews

I'm not the target audience and I don't have fond memories of reading them as a kid. Although I know I did read them at one point or another. They didn't make a big impression though and rereading - I didn't the impression any better. They're alright. Very weird. Very whacky. But at least most of them rhyme. 2.5 stars.

I love the words of Dr Seuss, but I hate to admit that I have never truly enjoyed hus artwork. In his book I get his story hut different art! This is a story about a boy's imagination and pretending things are different (with appendages and such) yet working through his thoughts of "why" he comes back to wanting to be exactly as he really is.
