Book Reviews of The Sneetches and Other Stories
Book Review: Dr. Seuss' masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Book Review: One of the best.......
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Book Review: Love Every Story...
Summary: 5 Stars
There isn't a story in this book that I don't enjoy reading to my kids. It makes you want to speak Sueuss all day long. My kids love Too Many Daves, the story of a woman who named all 23 of her sons Dave, and the list of alternative names she should have picked crack up my kids every time. I love the messages of The Sneetches, the unbudging Zax, and the pale green pants. They're unbelievably imaginative, clever, relevant, and just plain fun to read.Book Review: Great use for social emotional literacy
Summary: 5 Stars
In my school district we talk a lot about social, emotional literacy. This book is great in showing students that differences and individuality is what makes everyone unique and exciting. I used this book with seventh grade students and they loved the fact that I was reading them a storybook. For many students it has been so long since an adult has read them a storybook but I feel it is important to continue to model how to read fluently.Book Review: Little-heralded gem
Summary: 5 Stars
The title story, "The Sneetches," is a classic for its message of tolerance and anti-discrimination. But the little-heralded gem in this book is the great "What Was I Scared Of?" -- which takes the same theme to a new level as its protagonist faces a fear of the unfamiliar. Its chilling drawings, great rhythm and tremendous emotional range make it one of Seuss' greatest -- especially for reading aloud. Highly recommended. A great book.
