5.0 out of 5 stars
Seussian verse combined with entertaining illustrations., December 20, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: It Looks a Lot Like Reindeer (It Could Be Verse) (Library Binding)
As someone who started reading Dr. Seuss at age three (or so my mom claims), I am usually reluctant to compare anyone's writings to the esteemed Good Doctor. Something about Brian Cleary's "It Looks a Lot Like Reindeer," however, makes me recall some of my favorite Seuss classics, like "Fox in Sox" and "Green Eggs and Ham."
Granted, Cleary's rhythmic verse shows the influence of Dr. Theodor Geisel's writings, but the witty punning adds a level of difficulty to the children's lit genre that Seuss never attempted. Though I will stop well short of saying that Cleary is Dr. Seuss reincarnated, I can say without reservation that "It Looks a Lot Like Reindeer" is definitely worth a look
