Oh the Thinks You Can Think!
Reviewed by Kayla King
Oh the Thinks You Can Think! is one of those lovely little children’s books that is able to cross time and space and years to mean just as much to the adults who read it. In this whimsical world filled with classic Dr. Seuss nonsense, there is a message that YOU CAN THINK! You can imagine, which means all of us, young or old, can think and wonder and imagine, too!
The illustrations within this book are just as fantastic as one would expect from Dr. Seuss. The colors range from the pinkest pinks to the bluest blues and even some pages shrouded in darkness. All at once, the pages are silly until suddenly, they become very serious. They tell us to “think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!”
Now, in a media-obsessed world, it’s nice to know that along with the tweets we can tweet there are also thinks we can think. Maybe some of those THINKS will exist in 140 characters or less. But maybe they will build the next wonder of the world or write the next great novel or save mankind with a tremendous thought ready to become a real-life Think.
Dr. Seuss’s Oh the Thinks You Can Think! is a tale that reminds us all that we have the power to create whatever we want using only our minds. It’s really that simple. And hey, if we can “think about Kitty O’Sullivan Krauss in her big balloon swimming pool over her house,” then the sky is the limit (for both Kitty and us, too!) and anything is possible!
So thank you Dr. Seuss, for teaching us that we can think and think and think and never run out of Thinks! Maybe they will become real and we can keep them close by. Maybe they will even become house pets! Who knows, right? We need only THINK!

Release Date: July 28, 2015
In the Fall of 2013, an original manuscript with accompanying sketches by Dr. Seuss, aka Ted Geisel, was discovered in the La Jolla, California home of the late beloved children’s author. That complete manuscript was for the picture book, WHAT PET SHOULD I GET?, and will be published by Random House Children’s Books on July 28, 2015. It is the first original new Dr. Seuss book since the publication of the last book of Dr. Seuss’s career, Oh, the Places You’ll Go! in 1990. WHAT PET SHOULD I GET? captures the excitement of a classic childhood moment—choosing a pet—and features the brother and sister characters that Dr. Seuss drew in One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.

This post is done, you are free to go. But I hope when you leave you’ll remember to know, about Guffs and Snuvs and Bloogs blowing by. But most of all remember you can think any THINK as long as you try!
Which pet would I get? Why, a NERD, of course. Or maybe another fish so that I could have not one fish, but two fish.
A cat. Can’t be a cat lady without a cat.
If I got a pet it would be a cat.
I’d love a puppy!
I would get a kitty!
I want a cute blue pet that doesn’t bark or meow, One that’s small, cute and cuddly. I want a pet called a wibble wobble that would sway from side to side as it walks on all 4 feet. It must have 2 left feet and be able to help me around the house to clean up and to get the kids to bed. Thden it can curl up on my lap to sleep !
I would get a guinea pig. I love guinea pigs. They are so soft and cuddly!
I wanna panda!!! s not possible, I will go with a puppy. Or a kitten. Either one. 🙂
bird
A CAT IN THE HAT:D;)
I’d get a bearded lizard!
I’d get a dog
I’ve always wanted a koala.
If I could choose any pet out of the fog,
I would not choose an ant on a log,
For honestly he wouldn’t look that cute on my blog,
But mostly because my heart chooses a pet hedgehog.
A pony
I think that I might get a florflangle or a timtangle. Maybe I would choose a skadoodle or a zorzoodle.
Remember Clark, that they found in the dark, in One Fish Two Fish? Well… I want him! Thanks for hosting this giveaway. 😀
I guess I could get a cat so that I can be a crazy cat lady.
My 8 yr old son has been begging for a dog all his own.
