Green Eggs and Ham
by Dr. Seuss
This timeless Dr. Seuss classic was first published in 1960, and has been
delighting readers ever since. Sam-I-am is as persistent as a telemarketer,
changing as many variables as possible in the hopes of convincing the nameless
skeptic that green eggs and ham are a delicacy to be savored. |
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
by Dr. Seuss
The Grinch, whose heart is two sizes too small, hates Who-ville's holiday
celebrations, and plans to steal all the presents to prevent Christmas from
coming. To his amazement, Christmas comes anyway, and the Grinch discovers the
true meaning of the holiday. |
Horton Hears a Who
by Dr. Seuss
Surely among the most lovable of all Dr. Seuss creations, Horton the Elephant represents kindness, trustworthiness, and perseverance--all wrapped up, thank goodness, in a comical and even absurd package. Horton hears a cry for help from a speck of dust, and spends much of the book trying to protect the infinitesimal creatures who live on it from the derision and trickery of other animals, who think their elephant friend has gone quite nutty.

The Cat in the Hat
by Dr. Seuss
He may be an old standby, but he never lets us down. When in doubt, turn to the
story of the cat that transformed a dull, rainy afternoon into a magical and
just-messy-enough adventure. There's another, hidden adventure, too: this book
really will help children learn to read. With his simple and often single-vowel
vocabulary, the good Doctor knew what he was doing: hear it, learn it, read
it--laughing all the way. The Cat in the Hat is a must for any child's library. |
Yertle the Turtle and Other
Stories
by Dr. Seuss
Yet more wisdom cast down from high atop Mt. Seuss, this cheerful trio of tales teaches some valuable lessons in humility--thanks to a sharp-eyed worm, a bragging bear and rabbit, a fuzzy-tailed bird, and a couple hundred turtles led by their foolish King Yertle. |

Horton Hatches the Egg 
by Dr. Seuss
Poor Horton. Dr. Seuss's kindly elephant is persuaded to sit on an egg while its
mother, the good-for-nothing bird lazy Maysie, takes a break. Little does Horton
know that Maysie is setting off for a permanent vacation in Palm Springs. He
waits, and waits, never leaving his precarious branch, even through a freezing
winter and a spring that's punctuated by the insults of his friends . "They taunted.
They teased him.
They yelled 'How Absurd!
Old Horton the Elephant
thinks he's a bird!'"
Further indignities await, but Horton has the patience of Job--from whose story this one clearly derives--and he is rewarded in the end by the surprise birth of... an elephant-bird. Horton Hatches the Egg contains some of Theodor Geisel's most inspired verse and some of his best-ever illustrations, the dated style of which only accentuates their power and charm. A book no childhood should be without.

| The Lorax 
by Dr. Seuss
In The Lorax , we find what we've come to expect from the illustrious doctor: brilliantly whimsical rhymes, delightfully original creatures, and weirdly undulating illustrations. But here there is also something more--a powerful message that Seuss implores both adults and children to heed |
