Please get this book for someone you love!

I personally feel that lyrical poetry is a wonderful tool to help children learn to read. It helps them to feel the rhythms of the English language, they can anticipate what will come next, and then they can memorize passages - it's just a wonderful thing. I often wonder if my love of Shakespeare developed from all those readings of How the Grinch Stole Christmas (William is most likely rolling in his grave right now...)

This book is loads of fun - expect squeals of delight when you read the story of the frightful "empty Pants with nobody inside 'em". You can't beat the Sneetches for a hidden story about equality, and the story about too many Daves is a riot! Especially since most of us DO know too many Daves!!

I love this story!

This has to be the best Dr. Seuss story there there is. It has colorful pictures, funny names and words, and a great storyline. It also teaches one of the best lessons a child could learn: don't discriminate.

The Sneetches

I loved this book, it relates so much to the prejudice crimes of todays society. I bet a million bucks that that is how Seuss got his inspiration to write thsi wonderful childrens book. I read in my HONORS reading class and i absolutly loved it. It is a star book.

EXCEPTIONAL!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 10 STARS!

This was one of my favorite books when I was a child. I ordered it a couple months ago, since I remembered how much I had loved it. I laughed so hard I cried, through almost the whole book! It's amazing to me that this man could have come up with the important lessons that he did, and get them across in such funny ways and while making the fantastic rhymes that he did! The book amazed me as I was laughing and crying! The story of the Sneetches that thought they were better than everyone else getting their comeuppance had me in stitches. The northgoing and southgoing zax with their lesson on stubbornness and "I won't budge" made me think that everyone in my whole family (up,down and sideways) must have read this story and instead of learning NOT to be stubborn, used the zaxes as their heros in learning TO be stubborn (don't budge EVEN if they build the highway over you)!!!! And the guy being scared of the pants with nobody in them, and it turns out the pants were depressed and scared too!!! It shows that others have the same feelings you do (even if the "others" are strange personless pants)!!! These lessons are SO good and useful for everyone . . . (Okay! So I didn't understand the lesson in the 23 Daves!) This book, to me, is pure genius. It is as timely today as when it was written in 1961.
