Everybody loves "The Cat in the Hat", and of course "The Grinch" is famous at Christmas. How about "The Lorax"?
Is he among your Dr. Seuss favorites? |
No, I don't care for the Lorax but I do like Green Eggs and Ham.
And Horton Hears a Who and Horton Hatches the Egg. And the Cat in the Hat Comes Back. One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut! And that great question: "Oh Say Can You Say? Twenty-five years in kindergarten develops a taste for GREAT literature and read-alouds. Remember what Horton said, "A person's a person no matter how small." :thumbup: |
Love all things Dr. Suess. I am a Middle & High School media specialist, but we still use some of his stuff. A few teachers have students write poetry using his style of writing, and we use some of his stuff in history, such as "The Butter Battle Book". This work is his treatise on nuclear war--and you all thought his stuff was just for kids....
|
Yes to all Seuss! It's a winner for sure!
|
LOVE the Lorax! That's one of my favorites for sure!
|
Never heard of it.
I'm still on Green Eggs and Ham and One First, Two Fish. I didn't like the Cat in the Hat, either. Bad Cat! Bad Cat! |
I like the Lorax, but when the Zax come in, let me know! My hubby and eldest always say, "There's mom and her twin!" Gotta love the Zax!

He's cute!!!

The Lorax is hands down my husband and daughter's favorite. They can both quote the whole book.
|
Green Eggs and Ham, green eggs and ham,
I do not like green eggs and Ham. I do not like them, Sam I am. I do not like them in a tree. I do not like them let me be... LOVE Green Eggs and Ham. And don't forget the stand by "Oh the Places You'll Go"...I think that book has been given to EVERY high school graduate since it was written. I also liked "Go Dog Go"... |
I don't remember the Lorax at all. Cat in hat is iconic. A lot of Seuss is fun but drawings are not good enough; they are more about the wordplay. I think the Eric Carle fabric line for Caterpillar totally missed the mark in color saturation and lots of his work will become classic if not iconic.
|
Before I retired, I was a 6th grade teacher. Did a fun unit in which the kids wrote and did "raps" based on Dr. Seuss books. Loved Dr. Seuss, as there were great morals in his books.
|
My favorite Dr Suess book in "The Sleep Book"....I got one in 1966 and still have it today...but I never see it around anymore..and that is sad, cause it's a great book to read at the end of the day!!
|
My son's favorite was "Are You My Mother?" He got teary-eyed every time we read it.
|
My favorite is "Oh the Places you can go"
I've given to all the graduates in the family with personal notes inside and then had all at the grad party sign making it a personal keepsake for the grad to look upon at different stages of their lives. |
I am the Lorax--I speak for the trees! I've noticed that the trees along the street in Wiesbaden (Germany) are numbered. I hear that they take their trees very seriously here.
Meanwhile, I do like Dr. Seuss. "Oh, the Places You Can Go" is a great one. One of my favorites is not a rhyming one. It's Bartholomew Cubbins and the Oobleck. If you haven't read it, you should. Goes to show what awful things can happen when we are dissatisfied with what we have already. |
My favorite!

We read Dr. Seuss books to our girls a lot. The Lorax was a favorite.
|
Yes to anything Seuss! The Lorax is a classic and was probably one of the first children's books to teach about protecting our natural environment and it is still very relevant today. Children love this character :)
|
Love Dr. Seuss!! Horton Hears a Who is a favorite, as was Cat in a Hat, but DS absolutely loved How the Grinch Stole Christmas -- we had to read it year 'round. Even DH had it memorized. Last Christmas I started reciting it to DGS and remembered most of it -- he was reading along and correcting my errrors. It was great fun. (His Mom, DD, never approved of us reading Christmas books when it was not Christmas so he only gets to enjoy it in the fall.)
|
I once memorized the whole of the Lorax for a high school speach team competition. Could I repeat it all from memory today? Not so much.....
|
i'm from the days of "on beyond zebra" and "the 500 hats of bartholomew cubbins", and "bartholomew cubbins and the oobleck". i have to cop to loving all things seuss. horton, the sneetches, even that naughty cat in the hat populated our lives for a very long time. (but on beyond zebra captured my heart when i was little...)
|
All Dr. Seuss are wonderful. I liked the Lorax, but I've never seen Horton Hears a Who fabric. Would love that!
|
For a read aloud with a pre-schooler try Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?
|
I've never read the Lorax ...but how I love Green Eggs and Ham, how I love them Sam I am! LOL

YES... and yes to almost any Dr. Seuss!!! And to any baby/kid books !!!
|
I love Dr Seuss, and always really loved The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins, but I have no idea why. I don't even wear hats!
|
I love Dr. Seuss. It would be hard to pick a favorite.
|
I love the Lorax. It was my favorite children's book and still makes me cry. I gave a copy to my oldest nephew for Christmas this year. My brother told me that is was very welcome as he was going to buy it for Luke anyway.
|
I love all things Dr. Seuss. He is my favorite doctor. :-)
|
I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees!!!! One of my favorites. I always showed it to my class on Earth day.
|
Oh yes to ALL Dr Seuss books. I just love them. But still think the creator was on drugs. How else could he come up with the words and the creatures he used. LOL Still ya gotta love his crativity.
|
'And to think that I saw it on Mulberry Street'
'the 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins' 'Bartlolomew Cubbins and the Oobleck' 'Yertle the Turtle' I guess I did not see the political statements made by the author when I was reading the books as a child. I just enjoyed the silliness of the rhymes and illustrations. |
The Lorax is my favorite Dr. Seuss book of all time. The movie is also fantastic. I still remember watching it every Earth Day in elementary school.
|
Hmmm, I love One Fish, Two Fish because it was the one that both my daughters could read first. But probably my favorite to read was Fox in Sox; and yes, my tongue was numb every time I read it! (It definitely is a read aloud book)
