How the Grinch Stole Christmas! 86 reviews
Dr. Seuss
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1957
the best children's book EVER !!!
How The Grinch Stole Christmas is a classic tale about greed, materialism, and the kindness of man for his fellow man all wrapped up in one great big package! The illustrations are wonderful and the rhyming text impresses me. This is a story by Dr. Seuss that is so popular it was made into a Christmastime TV special; and it deserves every bit of recognition that it gets. (Note: this story is ...

Go, Dog. Go! (Beginner Books)85 reviews
P.D. Eastman
Random House/Beginner Books, 1961
Allô. Do you like my hat?
This is my favorite book of all time. I can't recommend it highly enough. If the "dog party in the trees" doesn't capture your imagination, I don't know what will. For the last forty years or so, I have been looking -- and I mean this literally, not figuratively -- for said party. That's a bit cracked, I know, but I just can't help myself.

El Lorax125 reviews
Dr. Seuss
Lectorum Pubns Inc (J), 1992
Good for the parent and the child
There are not many books for this age group that the parent gets more out if it than the child.
The Lorax is an great story that is hard for young ones to comprehend the first time through, but still fun to hear. As you read it over and over to them will understand and appreciate it more.
This has many similarities to stories like The Giving tree
Stories like these are inspirations for ...

Dr. Suess is the best
at teaching good things in a fun way. This book shows that a looking different doesn't make a person less fun or likeable. It has great rhymes, & is a quick read before sleep time.

Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book54 reviews
Dr. Seuss
Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 1962
Perfect bedtime reading
I purchased Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book to read to my grandchildren, ages 3 and 5. It's just perfect for bedtime when we are all 3 in the big bed and Nana just keeps yawning as she reads. They love it. And what's not to love about it? The characters are charming and the illustrations delightful. We all love it.

King's Stilts15 reviews

The King, Dr Seuss and Me
This is more of a personal note than a review, but it serves to show how a children's book can resonate through an entire lifetime.
My first encounter with THE KING'S STILTS was hearing my mother translate each sentence into Hungarian for me. I was less than five years old, and lying in my crib. As she turned each page, she leaned the book toward me and showed me the picture. I remembered ...

Dr. Seuss, Rosetta Stone
Picture Lions, 2001
FUNTASTIC!
This is one of Dr. Suess's books written under his pseudonym Rosetta Stone. This book shows once again what an amazingly clever man he was. Each of my children love this book. And I just finished reading it to my youngest son's preschool class. They enjoyed it so much they asked me to read it a second time! It is a fun and extremely enjoyable book for everyone!!!

One for Joseph Campbell
This was my favorite Dr. Seuss, and one of the books that stuck with me. I came across it recently while I also happened to be reading Campbell's Transformations of Myth Through Time.
A young man, beset with the travails of life, sets off to find paradise. The premise having been set, this story is actually predominantly about his many encounters and experiences on the road to paradise -- ...

HARPER COLL CHILDREN, 2003
Wonderful, Imaginative Book!!
My daughter and I love love love this book. It is so creative and everytime we read it (which is seriously twice a day) she finds something new in one of the pictures. The cadence and flow of the sentences is almost mesmerizing. Really delightful to read!

Bartholomew and the Oobleck21 reviews
Dr. Seuss
Amer School Pub, 1985
One of the best kids' books, ever.
I bought this book with "The King's Stilts" (see my review). I think this is one of the best kids' books ever, and my kids loved it when they were small. It was a sad day when our record of it got buckled by being left in the sun. Unavailable as a book when my kids were little, this is a delightful story with a typical Dr Seuss moral ending - change is not always for the best and novelty is ...

The Eye Book (Bright & Early Books)17 reviews
Theo Le Sieg, Dr. Seuss
Picture Lions, 2000
Gorgeous illustrations!
This is the perfect book for the youngest of Seuss fans. It's a very simply book that starts out with a boy pointing to his eyes and saying what they are...and then to his bunny friend's eyes. The book goes on to explain what eyes do and what they help us see. I thought the pink underpants was a little strange, but they're just kids afterall!
I'm a little surprised that I didn't notice anyone ...

fine children's book with lots to be learned
Oh, the Thinks You Can Think! Is a charming book by the immortal Dr. Seuss who wrote many fine children's books in his time. Oh, the Thinks You Can Think! is no exception. This book encourages children to imagine and eventually explore the world without fear.
The book has excellent illustrations that amuse children--and adults; and the rhyming text always impresses me.
The book starts by ...

The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss18 reviews
Theodor Geisel
Random House, 1995
Geisel was truly an artist, as can be seen in this collection
Ted Geisel, more widely known as Dr. Seuss, was a consummate writer and illustrator. His children's books have sold millions of copies; it is a near certainty that few children grow up in the United States without being exposed to Seuss books. This book contains some of Seuss's art that has not had a great deal of exposure. Most are paintings, although there are some works of three-dimensional ...

Wonderful Story I had somehow missed
I thought I knew all the Dr. Seuss books, but this one came to my attention recently and I had never heard of it before. I bought it immediately in order to read it to my youngest daughter before she outgrows children's books. She loved the story and I had one more wonderful message to give her from Dr. Seuss, "Keep thinking of all the wonderful things that are possible!"
