Written as[edit]

What does "written as" mean? Does this mean the book is not written by Dr. Seuss? DouglasHeld (talk) 06:42, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Boy or child?[edit]

Having read the book, there is no indication (as far as I can see) that the main character is a boy. Maybe there is a source that can confirm the character is a boy (does he appear in another book perhaps?), but I haven't found one. Could the Plot section be written as follows, to reflect this ambiguity?:

The main character, a ~~boy~~ child, wakes up to find a shoe on the wall; then he they looks up to find one on the ceiling as well. With each new page, the number of "wacky" things grows, as the ~~boy~~ child goes through ~~his~~ their morning routine and makes it to George Washington School, trying to alert others to the wacky occurrences. The classmates ignore ~~his~~ the child's warnings, and ~~his~~ their teacher, Miss Bass, thinks he the child is disrupting the class and throws ~~him~~ them out.
As the world gets progressively crazier, the ~~boy~~ child runs around trying to escape it or find help, and eventually runs into Patrolman McGann, who declares that Wacky Wednesday will end as soon as every last wacky thing has been counted – the final page having 20 in total.
At the end, the shoe on the wall disappears as the ~~boy~~ child goes to bed.
