DESCRIPTION:

Optimistic and exciting, this tale is the perfect bait, and readers young and old will be hooked on this fish-tastic favorite.. Imagination runs wild in this Caldecott Honor-winning tale featuring Dr. Seuss's inimitable voice and hysterical illustrations
jonesyjonesjones said A favorite of ours.. This is one of my favorite Dr. Seuss stories. Even if the copy had arrived in horrible condition and taken forever to get to me, it couldn't have earned less than four stars simply for being a favorite story. However, the copy delivered to me was perfect, the story just as I remembered and my daughter, now four, enjoys it immensely; she references it when we go fishing at our local park. I love the enthusiasm and optimism that Marco (the protagonist) brings to fishing in a farm pond. The binding quality is good, as well, and barring bad behavior--children are known to occasionally suffer from lapses in judgement--I anticipate. Fondest memories . Katherine Kinnear It's been a favorite of mine since childhood. I read it to my kids and just now sent it to my first granddaughter - just can't go wrong with this story.. Israni said book and Donny Osmond's "It's Possible" - what a fun experience for a child to see a song written. This book and Donny Osmond's "It's Possible" - what a fun experience for a child to see a song written from a book. Love Love Love Dr. Seuss.
A small boy is fishing in the tiny, unpromising McElligot's Pool, a puddle that (as a passing farmer informs our diminutive hero) is nothing but a hole where people dispose of their junk. It's a single poetic variation on the theme of adult skepticism that's no match for childhood faith and daydreaming. And, oddly enough, with a head at both ends!" The moral of the story is straightforward: "If I wait long enough, if I'm patient and cool,/ Who knows what I'll catch in McElligot's pool?" (Ages 4 to 8) --Richard Farr. McElligot's Pool is a Seuss classic fro
