Introduce youngsters to the concept of Satire

Greed. Abuse of Power. The king of the pond literally steps on others to get what he wants. Until a plain little turtle below in the stack, whose name is Mac, bravely precipitates change. Great introduction to satire for any age. Pokes fun at one of our most popular of human shortcomings - the desire for power. Introduces us to the idea that change can begin with one small voice. Dr. Seuss rhythm and rhyme. Brilliant.

A story with a twist

My family have been happy fans of Dr Seuss and we enjoyed this book, it's quite funny because as a adult reading this to your children, you can't help but think that there is a message in the story aimed at the adults !!!! That's the way I saw it anyway !!!

7 year old Dr. Seuss Fan

My 7 year old son is a big Dr. Seuss fan and he loved this book. It is a
great value for a hard cover book and it is 3 stories in 1! Both my son and
I enjoyed it very much.

Dr. Seuss understands leadership

Yertle the turtle is a great book on leadership. It teaches you how NOT to be a leader. Yertle ordered the other turtles to pile up in order that he could be on top and be "king of all that I see." In the end the turtles collapsed and Yertle was back on earth with the rest of the turtles.

We see so many leaders that are like Yertle. Climbing all over others to get to the top. They often take the big fall much as Yertle did.

True leaders will develop those who work for them. The other "turtles" will elevate the leader to the top creating a sound foundation to allow the leader to stay at the top.

Don't be like Yertle.
