Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

"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 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Genius author, genius book!

ByxobeautyUKon April 17, 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I decided to buy this book because i wanted to add it to my teacher's "library." I've used the sneechea in a lesson plan before to introduce the diary of a young girl. It's an amazing story! Dr. Seuss was very much an advocate for social justice and understanding and I love his books. It's difficult enough to teach kids about tolerance because of all the terrible things they hear an see but this book is great for tolerance building!
I also like that his book has other stories in it, I feel like I'm getting multiple stories for less than the price of one book!

Overall: great stories, great price! I highly recommend!

The most important Dr. Seuss book!

ByCLDon December 31, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

My all time favorite. This will teach your children about how silly it is to prejudge, discriminate and even to constantly demand more! more! MORE! I think it puts into a child's perspective, bullying, fairness, being nice, being equitable in our everyday relationships. To be more accepting of others and even ourselves as we are and not having to change ourselves to "fit in" with another's pre-conceived notions of who and what we should be.

It's no Green Eggs and Ham but.......

ByPotato Headon May 9, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A classic Dr. Seuss book. Not as good as The Cat in the Hat or Green Eggs and Ham, but still a fun read for children of any age. Teaches children about discrimination and its effects.

Dr. Seuss at his finest

A classic. This teaches race relations to very young children in a way they can easily understand. Good for adults to read as well.
