The voice is pure Seuss. I didn't think the artwork was very Seuss at all. Michael Smollin didn't try to emulate Dr. Seuss at all. It feels very different. I also learned something from this book: a butterfly catcher is a Lepidopterist. I also enjoyed the mushroom grower's hat. To bad acupuncturist isn't in there. That would make a good picture. It's also too bad that people are not diverse in here.

The computer job has sure changed since this book came out. Also the gender roles are pretty static in this one too. It's totally 80s.

Still, it was dynamic and fun to read. The kids gave this 4 stars. Dr. Seuss has a gift.

I don't know why I never heard of this and now I have so better late than never.

This was pretty cute. Bride isn’t a profession though.

Read on January 6, 2021. Not adding official dates so it doesn’t count in my totals.
