Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Illus. in full color. 'A little boy, trying to decide what to do, has all sorts of ideas presented to him by grinchy-looking hunches who give good, bad and silly ideas. The book has Dr. Seuss's bright, funny illustrations and rhymes.'--School Library Journal.
Amazon.com Review:
'It's awfully awfully awful / when you can't make up your mind!' For one poor boy, this indecision takes the form of dozens of Seussian Hunches--a Sour Hunch, a Very Odd Hunch, the Homework Hunch, a Four-Way Hunch, the Nowhere Hunch--all with elaborate finger-pointing hats and strong opinions of their own. Pretty soon the boy's head is 'frightfully ga-fluppted' and 'murky-mooshy:'
By now my mind was so mixed up
I really didn't know
if I wanted to go to the barber shop
or to Boise, Idaho.
After much arguing and 'barg-uing' and shoving and yelling, a decision is made and our hero follows a Munch Hunch to lunch. The nonsense and cleverly crafted message in Hunches in Bunches is right up to par with Dr. Seuss's many other classic picture books. It's easy to become overwhelmed by advice when you have a mind--but can't make it up. Sometimes the best plan is to trust your own hunches, and disregard the vocal bunch of Hunches clamoring for attention. This makes a great gift for well-meaning flakes and ditherers of all ages. (Ages 4 and older) --Emilie Coulter

I grew up reading Dr. Seuss. I figure once my son gets older he can enjoy them too.

Dr. Suess books are classic's. I have never read this book before. As I was reading it with my 3 year old son before bedtime, several times in the book they used the word dumb and stupid. I am fully aware that those words are not "bad" words. However my son has picked up on those words (prior to the book) and uses them in a harsh tone of voice as bad words when he is upset that makes them sound worse then they are. So I just try to steer clear of those words in my daily language and also try to limit how much he hears those words in general. (which is a challenge all in it's self because once again they are not "bad" words). So I was kinda shocked when I was reading and came across those words (which I didn't read aloud) in a children's book. So I'm not telling you not to buy the book, just a little FYI that those words do appear in the book a couple of different times. I'm sure that in most children it is no big deal to hear those words, but for mine it is.

This book was so much fun to read to my children. My daughter loved it so much I had to read it to her all the time. When she was old enough to read, she memorized the WHOLE book. She could stand and recite it from beginning to end and act it out for her little brother who thought she was just the best big sister. Now that is a powerful testimony as to how much they enjoyed it. She is now 27 and still remembers the whole book.
I'm sure your children will enjoy it as much as mine did.

This is definitely one of my favorites! It is a book that is different than most and is very enjoyable. Allows kids (and multi-tasking parents) to see the importance of staying on task.

I ADORE Dr. Seuss. In fact, I'm pretty sure that his work is the source of a sizeable chunk of my love for language in general, and for poetry. In fact, I think my love for Shakespeare started as a child, with Dr. Suess. This stuff was really profound for me.
But I have to say, if Geisel really did write this one, he was NOT in top form. The music of his language is missing - some of the verses are downright clunky, and the usual depth is lost in horrific lines like "... together we'll trot to some real cool spot and play a few video games."
Maybe he was trying to be contemporary. And some of the illustrations here really ARE wonderful, but I have to say, this Seuss lover (who now spends as much as an hour and a half a day reading the stuff to his own daughter, who love it) finds this one way off the mark.
