Books like Wacky Wednesday
By Dr. Seuss
For the kid who spots the one puzzle piece that's upside down before anyone else does, this book turns that same sharp eye loose on a whole town gone wrong. Playful, puzzling, a little chaotic, and endlessly re-readable.
A book with no pictures forces whoever reads it aloud to say every ridiculous word on the page — including BLORK, BLUURF, and a song about eating ants for breakfast.
A sound-making wonder named Mr. Brown moos like a cow, hoos like an owl, buzzes like a bee, and even chews gum like a grum-grumming hippo, daring readers to make every noise right along with him.
A paint-happy kid gets banned from painting after covering everything from ceiling to floor, then finds a wildly funny way to keep creating anyway — using every color on hand.
A parade of rhyming oddballs takes readers from near to far and here to there — a bumpy Wump, a singing Ying, a winking Yink who drinks pink ink — with no plot but plenty of silly counting and rhyming along the way.
A Siamese kitten with an overactive imagination transforms into El Skippito, a mask-and-cape sword-fighter, ready to take on banditos and a bad bumble-beeto to save the day.
A friendly monster arrives from Planet Tickle with one mission: to tickle whichever child is following along, turning the grown-up reading aloud into the monster's own tickling hands.
A hippopotamus hiccups so hard he keeps toppling onto his bottom, and an elephant, a centipede, and a rhinoceros all try to find a cure before the chaos gets worse.
Farmer Brown's cows find a typewriter in the barn and start leaving him notes with demands — and when he refuses, the whole farm goes on strike.
A cat gets a cupcake and asks for sprinkles to go with it, setting off a chain of requests and small messes that just keeps looping back on itself.
A marker-obsessed girl talks her mom into buying washable markers, then scented ones, then five super-indelible never-come-off markers — and colors herself from head to toe.
A toddler leads a cheerful parade of friends on a walk to the end of a seaside pier, picking up buzzing bees, bicycle bells and a whole beachful of noisy company along the way.
A gardener finally grows the vegetable patch of his dreams, but three hungry bunnies keep sneaking in every night — so he builds fence after fence to outsmart them.
