Playground for language

A book that seems to be a playground of language for me as a child was There's a Wocket in my Pocket! by Dr.Seuss. This book is filled with end rhythms and alliterations that keep you interested and make the books more enjoyable to read. At the beginning of the book when he is trying to convince you about the animal in his house he states "And that zelf up on the shelf! I have talked to him myself.". Later in the book when he talks about all his friends at his house he says"...Like the Tellar and the Nellar and the Gellar and the Dellar and the Bellar and the Wellar and the Zellar and the Cellar.". These are just two examples of the word play Dr.Seuss uses to keep his audience entertained and one of the many reasons as a child I enjoyed his books.
