The best Dr. Seuss

Now that my years of reading bedtime stories are over, this book stands out as the one my kids and I enjoyed the most. The rhymes are bouncy, memorable and rhythmic, and the stories manage to impart life lessons without sounding preachy. My kids especially liked the last story about the pale green pants, fear of the unknown being an issue around here.


Dr. Seuss' masterpiece

Dr. Seuss wrote this wonderfully rich tale of the sneetches with a keen eye for simplifying social injustices. Using past anti-semitic imagery of the star of David on jewish clothes during WWII, Seuss teaches the lessons of self-acceptance and tolerance; all children should learn this lesson from their parents--however way they wish to teach them. Seuss offers us this great enjoyable tool with which to teach children and probably even more important--adults--what should be inborn.

Fighting Ignorance.

If you are a racist, umm, I mean Star Belly Sneetch, you should buy and read this book. It will simplify your ignorance to the point where even you might be able to understand the implications of your own racism.

If you are not a racist, you should buy this book. It will simplify racists to the point that you will give a hardy chuckle -- and wish that the good old doctor could have lived forever . . . .






One of the best.......

This Dr. Seuss offering I read to my own children 25 yrs. ago, and now my grandchildren are enjoying this book, as well. These stories are less non-sensical, yet convey a message in a whimsical way. Our kids ESPECIALLY like the pale green pants story, and when my 7 yr. old granddaughter read it to ME the other night, I could say it right along with her......I've read it so many times, I know it by heart!! I highly recommend this particular Dr. Seuss 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.
