Great Day For Up February 6, 2010
J. Rubin (Arizona, USA)
I purchased this copy for my granddaughters' school library. It came in a reasonable time and is in reasonable condition. The librarian was happy with it.
 A great book October 19, 2009

This is one of my favorite Dr Seuss books. I think it has a very positive message and the water color drawing are beautiful.

I loved this book as a child so I purchased it for my God Son, it's in amazing condition. I could swear my own mother bought it for me years ago, I'm very impressed.

It does not have as much rhyme as other Dr Seuss books, but like "Hop on Pop" it is designed to be a simple read for beginner readers.
What is unique about this Dr Seuus book, is that it is illustrated by Quentin Blake, commonly known for his illustration collaborations with Roald Dahl, and later in his own children's fiction such as Little Greats: Mr Magnolia.
A fine first read with wonderful illustrations June 15, 2007
Bachelier (Ile de France)
Dr. Suess's scansion and made-up words annoy me. My tri-lingual children have a hard enough time differentiating and isolating Standard English words, so I generally avoid Suess.
The volume is a rare welcome exception (there are a few Suessisms) and is an excellent book for first readers.
The story is plain, with the major intention of teaching your child to *read* his or her first words in English (in this case the word is "up").
But Quentin Blake's illustrations are superb and worth the price of the volume alone.
The conclusion is a bit silly, and has a rather lazy aspect to it that parents need to guide their children on (no, it isn't okay to sleep in bed all day like the boy in the story, this is just a silly book"), but mostly this is unobjectionable.
