Dr. Seuss - The Sneetches and Other Stories

Pros: silly. good lessons. good stories.

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: What book, do you suppose, would be read by a boy with 39 toes? With 39 toes and a mole on his nose?...Dr. Seuss was what he chose.

Review: For many years I volunteered as the story lady at the San Diego library. One of my favorite books to pull out, and a huge hit everytime I did, was Sneetches and Other Stories by Dr. Seuss. I read the book often enough that I ended up memorizing...

Pros: Cute Yellow Creatures Promote Kindness & Compassion

Cons: absolutely zero

The Bottom Line: The Sneetches offers to teach our children and us priceless lessons about humanity, kindness, courage and compassion that we are often too short-sighted to realize

Review: Do you belong to a club or organization that turns away members based on annual income, race, religion or sexual orientation? Have you ever attended parties where the tickets cost over $100? Did you ever feel special and included when you joined the cool...

Pros: Four excellent stories by the master story-teller, appropriate for a variety of ages

Cons: Too bad there aren't more stories in there!

Pros: 4 entertaining stories by Dr. Seuss, 3 with thoughtful messages

Review: THE SNEETCHES AND OTHER STORIES contains four rhyme-filled tales by Dr. Seuss. The first is "The Sneetches." While I write this review, a thirteen-year-old is sitting here reading with feeling of the initial appalling treatment of the Plain-Belly...

Pros: Great rhyming flow. A lesson is always learned in a silly way.

Cons: Two of the stories are short and leave you wanting to hear more.

The Bottom Line: I enjoyed reading this to my children very much.

Review: What is a Sneetch? Well it’s really hard to say. My spell check doesn’t recognize them so they must go away, just kidding. Well a Sneetch is a character in the Dr. Suess Book, called the Sneetches and Other Stories. Sneetches kind of look like...

Pros: The Sneetches story does teach a good lesson regarding discrimination.

Cons: Not the best work of Seuss.

The Bottom Line: This is not my favorite Dr. Seuss book. I recommend The Grinch and Green Eggs and Ham. My toddler recommends Go, Dog, Go!

Review: Dr. Seuss is one of those authors who I like some of his work, but honestly I don't see what is so great about his writing and illustrations overall. The Grinch and Green Eggs and Ham are superb children's stories with witty rhymes. But ...
