In this short children's book written by Dr. Seuss, a little boy tells us about the strange creatures who reside in his house, from the noothgrush on the toothbrush, to the Nureau in a bureau.
This story humorously uses familiar rhymes to describe the imaginary creatures around the boy's house. The creatures include the "zlocks behind the clocks," "the furry zowers in the shower," and the "yeps on the steps." All the while, Seuss maintains that these creatures are not harmful and scary, but should instead be welcomed.
The story is overall very simple, and mostly just lists the different animals the boy befriends. In doing so, Seuss puts a fun twist on learning about rhymes, making this book interesting and fun for younger readers.
