Dr. Suess - need more be said!!! We love this book!

Oh,the memories! His earliest books were definitely the best!

Absolutely wonderful!! If you want to read all kinds of background info on Ted Geisel, this is the book to acquire!

Absolutely delightful! This is a collection of the best stories in the world, of course, Dr. Seuss stories ... interspursed with information about his life, his work, and his dreams. Recollections of others about his work, and his own wonderful artwork make the collection absolutely the best book I've read in years! Might go on my list as the best book ever ...

I have so many fond memories of Dr. Seuss, the Cat in the Hat, and my personal favorite, Green Eggs and Ham ... from my childhood. In more recent years I have discovered the wisdom of Hurray for Diffenderfer Day (not included in this anthology) and Oh, the Places You'll Go! Last year I made my grandson his own "Green Eggs and Ham" by putting pictures of him (with a mouse, in a house, in a tree, in a car, in a boat, with a goat, in a train, in the rain, etc.) in a book with the text of the original story, plus a few lines added by me. It was a fun project, and one of my favorites to show off.

I am as big a fan as ever of Dr. Seuss, and he is absolutely my all time favorite author! This book is a wonderful collection!

March 2021 ... once again fabulous stories with wonderful lessons, for children of ALL ages!

five stars, of course.

A handy collection of some of the BEST Seuss material, all between just two covers and oversized. Makes it handy for an adult collection and a nice gift for a kid. (One of these days, I swear I'm actually going to make green eggs and ham. See if I don't!)

Classic Dr. Seuss in one big book! What's not to love?

The stories are lovely, as are the unique and sympathetic illustrations. My favorite stories were Yertle the Turtle and The Lorax. Horton is a wonderful character as well. I read most of the stories aloud to myself because the rhyming downright invites the reader to do that.

The illustrations in If I Ran the Zoo feature some badly aged ethnic stereotypes. However, the story itself contains no prejudice. Many of the stories in this book have a very good and contemporary moral. They promote equality, anti-consumerism, environmentalism, and even antifascism. I didn't expect this, but it was a very nice surprise.

This book contained some other material besides the stories itself, including short essays by people who knew Ted Geisel (Dr. Seuss) or were touched by his work. However, I was left wondering about the very polished image the book gave of Mr. Geisel. It's probably not the whole truth, so what was left unsaid? Anyway, it was interesting to get some context for the stories, and many of the essays helped me find the deeper meaning in the stories.

This is on the hardcover shelf.

I joined a book club especially to buy this book. It's got Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat and the Hat, and Oh the Places You'll Go, which are some of my favorite. There's also a lot of interesting history about Dr Seuss, his poetry and his art. It includes his first book (And To Think I Saw it on Mulberry Street, 1937) and his last (Oh the Places You'll Go, 1991).

An attractive compilation of several favorite Seuss books.

Loved the essays, they taught me so much about why and how Griesel wrote these amazing works of arts.
