Book Reviews of The Sneetches and Other Stories
Book Review: Suess is the legend for a very good reason
Summary: 5 Stars
If there was a "Greatest Hits" of Suess book, I am sure that the Sneetches would be in it. Great story, with characters that are easily loved and as always, the lesson is not delivered by way of a 2x4 to the noggin. The Zax, well, I think every child should hear this story often and maybe civil lawsuits would decrease. Best of all, I know not to name 23 of anything all Dave. This could probably be a great inspirational message for business settings as well, the allegories are smooth.
This is one of the treasured memories of childhood. If you are kind enough to do special voices for your kiddos like my dad did for us, you will create magic, and life is good, very good, for that moment. Do it for the kids!
Book Review: Can't go wrong with this one!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Seuss is a favorite in our house... always fun and silly, and the kids always want to make up their own Dr. Seuss-style phrases or stories (which is a good game for the imagination). Dr. Seuss has never been a great choice for us on bedtime stories, gets my kids acting a little too silly at times. But it's a fun one for us to read any other time. You can't go wrong with Dr. Seuss... a guaranteed good time! This one is one of the best!!! Funny, captivating, unusual, with a good solid message that you'll be proud for your children to learn - accepting the differences in others! This is the classic way to teach children that reading can be a lot of fun!!! You'll find yourself reading this one over and over again!Book Review: Please get this book for someone you love!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!!
Book Review: Wonderful collection of stories
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this after seeing it on Amazon. It was one of my favorite books growing up and I wanted to share it with my three daughters (8,6,& 2). After reading "The Sneetches" to my 6 year-old, she looked at me and said that it wasn't very nice to treat people badly because they aren't the same as us. I was thrilled that she got the meaning of that story right away. Dr. Seuss is a genius for getting these moral points across in a way that children understand and making it so fun at the same time. She thought that "The Zax" was funny. She didn't understand why they just didn't compromise. Every story in this book has an important lesson and it's such a great way to spend time with your children too!Book Review: A book of childhood memories...
Summary: 5 Stars
I had this book in record form when I was a little girl. It wasn't until I was eight or nine that I found out that it was a book first. Anyhow, I loved these stories! In fact, "What was I scared of?" was the very first story I could recite from memory at the age of five, astonishing my parents. I'm not sure why, but it's my favorite. I think my other favorite is "Too Many Daves." The names that she should've given them, "Foden Fan Horn," "Hoos Foos," are a riot!
This and many other of Dr. Seuss' books were instrumental in helping me learn to read at an early age. I hope that when I become a mother, I will share some of the same precious memories with my own children.
