There's a Wocket in My Pocket!

In this 1974 picture book for the youngest readers, Dr. Seuss's narrator, a boy, reveals that his house is full of odd creatures whose names rhyme with the places they hide. There is a wocket in his pocket, a nooth grush on his toothbrush, a zillow on his pillow and a yottle in the bottle, along with many more. Each rhyme pairs a real word with an invented one, turning the pages into playful practice in reading and sounding out words.

Richard Branson: “I have been reading a lot of books by one of my favourite authors, Dr Seuss... There is more wisdom and humour in his cartoons and rhymes than in any number of lengthy and highbrow books.”
