Sneetches and Other Stories by Seuss (1961, Hardcover)

Four cute stories, but the last one "What was I Scared of," is by far, one of my favorite stories ever!

I recently learned that the author was originally very racist & used to draw political cartoons. At some point in his life he had a change of heart. That is when he became Dr. Suess & set out to teach children how to end the cycle of bigotry.

"Sneeches" is a simplified straightforward example of this, but my favorite by far, is the last of the four "What Was I Scared of." It's not as well known, as many of his other stories and its really a shame. It I think it's a great lesson that I wish more adults could learn. Everytime I get to the end, I have a hard time saying the words because I get choked up. I have bought many copies to give as gifts.Read full review

Very Seuss-y

I lost the copy I read to my sons when they were young so had to get another copy so I could remember all 23 Daves. :) Fun short stories and good life lessons. Classic Seuss.

Great book for children. Correctly talks about everyone being the same.

Great book especially for young children. It correctly talks about how people of all shapes, sizes, and stars are the same and should be treated the same.

Perfect

I read this as a child. I am 66 Y/O. The relevency of this story demands rereading and reprinting NOW! The memory of the moral came to mind recently. Another book about inclusion that children today need to read is, "The Hundred Dresses" by Eleanor Estes.
