 * Bibliographic Data:**

In this classic Dr. Seuss story, comes a rhyming book, rather than a story. This book has different pictures and sentences that correspond with each other. It’s hard to summarize a book that does not really have a summary itself. There are a whole bunch of short sentences involving different pictures that do not really have to do with one another in the overall book. Some of them do with friends and animals, while others do with activities being done. All and all, this is a fun and enjoyable book for young students to start to read.
 * Summary:**

The writing style that was used for this book was simple, while also including a lot of rhyming. The rhyming provides students with similar words, which can allow them to understand what they are reading. They can have fun putting words and sentences together. While having words that sound similar to one another can help students see a pattern and understand the book. The simple phonics can encourage students to have fun with their reading. Words that rhyme and make reading fun for the students can have them engaged till the very end.
 * Analysis of a Literary Element:**

This is one of the Dr. Seuss books that I really enjoyed. Even though it was short and simple, I would always read and love it. All the rhyming and the specific word choice was what keeps children interested in the story. The words and rhymes flow so smoothly that it almost makes sense to have the sentences how they are. Hop on Pop can really engage young readers because it really is a simple read for them. What child wouldn’t like to have a little mischief while reading?
