A classic from my childhood that has aged well. Super imaginative and I love the rhymes. We own the board book and the hardcover version.

The abridged board book has all of the best pages, but now that Lily's attention span is longer, reading the full version is more fun. All of it is good stuff. ( )

Imagination, thinking outside the box

Mostly things that I wouldn't think, alas, but fun to view them passing by! ( )

Is this the most absurd book that Dr. Seuss has ever written? I haven't read all of his books, yet, so I can't be totally sure, but damned it might just be! Just like the title suggests, there are no limits to what one can think, and Seuss expertly illuminates a bevy of whimsically impossible thoughts through his charmingly rhymed language and carefully constructed images. Some of the wording is a touch awkward and he lets the craziness of the ideas overpower any need for linguistic structure, but I think that the illustrations more than make up for any shortcomings. We are treated to a whole new range of imaginary creatures and landscapes, all depicted by Seuss' trademark style of clashingly bright colours. Considering how strong the images are in terms of inspiration, I wonder how many children over the years have used them as the basis to create a wholy new story - eschewing Seuss' narration entirely in favour of new thinks!

This book is for ages 4-8. It teaches children of the many ways they can think. It allows them to expand their thinking. It as well incorporates a lot of color which makes them connect their thoughts to something. It's written in a poetry format which is easier for children to read through since it all rhymes.
