Product Description
From Amazon
"Now, the Star-Belly Sneetches / Had bellies with stars. / The Plain-Belly Sneetches / Had none upon thars." This collection of four of Dr. Seuss's most winning stories begins with that unforgettable tale of the unfortunate Sneetches, bamboozled by one Sylvester McMonkey McBean ("the Fix-it-up Chappie"), who teaches them that pointless prejudice can be costly. Following the Sneetches, a South-Going Zax and a North-Going Zax seem determined to butt heads on the prairie of Prax. Then there's the tongue-twisting story of Mrs. McCave--you know, the one who had 23 sons and named them all Dave. (She realizes that she'd be far less confused had she given them different names, like Marvin O'Gravel Balloon Face or Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate.) A slightly spooky adventure involving a pair of haunted trousers--"What was I scared of?"--closes out the collection. Sneetches and Other Stories is Seuss at his best, with distinctively wacky illustrations and ingeniously weird prose. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes

Fighting Ignorance.,
By machievelli "machievelli" (Inside Chinese Fortune Cookie Factory) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sneetches and Other Stories (Hardcover)
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 review is from: The Sneetches and Other Stories (Hardcover)
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.

Better than I remember,
This review is from: The Sneetches and Other Stories (Hardcover)
I obviously don't HAVE to write a review about any Dr.Seuss books but it's amazing how they bring back memories. Now, 20 yrs after these books were read to me, my husband and I get to read them to our daughter, 3 months old. We're hoping that one day she will carry on the tradition of reading these books to her children. I'm hoping to own them all :)
