Hop On Pop by Dr. Seuss

The first thing that struck me about this book was how simple and easy it was to read. This book is certainly geared towards very young readers, as the rhyming scheme and story are both extremely elementary, yet fun. Throughout the book, there are many rhyming words used (such as day and play, night and flight, etc.). I think this book would be perfect to use to introduce the idea of poetry and rhyming to very young readers. The illustrations are very lush and colorful, in typical Dr. Seuss form. Also, like most Dr. Seuss books, the characters are simply drawn up straight from the author's imagination. The story is very short, and this books is a very quick read. However, I would certainly recommend this book to young readers (especially as an introduction to poetry and rhyming).
