I think this book is for the primary student level. This book was about a boy noticing everything around him slowly starts turning weird. It is also a counting book and something wacky is added every page. Not to give anything away, but… It all begins with a shoe on the wall! One of my favorite books from childhood! I loved trying to find the amount of 'wacky' mistakes on each page! And I always had a hard time on the pages where you have to find 20 (turns out, I still do!) This was fun to share with the five year old in my life, even if he couldn't read the 2 or 3 'wacky' written errors! He giggled quite often at the silliness of it all! I did too! Like most of the books written under Dr. Seuss’ secondary pen name (Theo LeSieg) and illustrated by other individuals, Wacky Wednesday falls short of the full Seussical magic that imbues many of his other books. The basis for the story, the increasing wackiness of this particular Wednesday as observed by an increasingly confused young protagonist, is strong as it contains the seed of whimsy that Dr. Seuss’ mad-cap stories are known for, but without his unique style of illustrations the story misses the mark by a hair. The narration is simple, essentially asking readers to spot an increasing number of wacky occurrences with each scene as the boy goes about his day, which provides young readers with lots of entertainment with each turn of the page. But with Seuss not providing any specific direction to the illustrator in terms of content, free reign and madness could be explored at whim, yet Booth’s style is a touch too simple and doesn’t reach the potential that Seuss set him up for. I’m not sure why Seuss himself didn’t bother illustrating this book (1974 seems to be right in the midst of his career, though at a bit of a point of decline), but it seems a shame that we missed out on what could have been one of his most whimsically illustrated books! I liked this book for a few reasons. First I liked the language in the book because of the rhyming, and visual appeals. I love that this book could be read to any elementary age and it still be fun. The book is a fun because the reader is on a hunt to find all the wacky things on the page. I like the rhyming in the book, for example "I went out the school door. Things were worse than before. I couldn't believe it. Ten wacky things more!". sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Desde el momento en que el protagonista de Miércoles alocado se despierta, algo es evidente: hoy no es un día cualquiera. Hay un zapato en el techo, una palmera en el inodoro, un gusano que persigue a un pájaro ¡y mucho, mucho más! Desde un hueco en la mesa de la cocina hasta un sol verde en el cielo, a los niños les encantará encontrar y contar los disparates que aparecen en cada página de este libro ingenioso y fácil de leer. Ilustrado por el reconocido caricaturista George Booth, este divertido libro agudizará la habilidad de observación del niño a la vez que sigue la lectura."--Amazon.
