Best Dr. Seuss book (1 Viewer)

[timschochet]

I tried to include all the favorites.

My vote: tough call between Grinch, Lorax, and Horton, but Horton wins out. Good suspense, great characters all the way through.

 

[El Floppo]

Hop on Pop for me... because I miss my dad, and because my kids still love to hop on pop.

Go Dog Go too (even if it's PD Eastman and not officially Dr Seuss).

So at some point long ago, my brother had to call the Seuss estate/company to get permission to do a play, or use his words in a play... something like that. My brother is trying to figure out how to word his question as the phone rings... "hello- Theodor Geisl speaking". Dr Seuss answered his own phone- on the first ring- and apparently couldn't have been nicer. talked to my brother about all manner of things- mostly related to children's theater- for about half and hour.

Sneetches. Great messages in that one.

That book also has the many Daves which is an instant laugh for young kids.

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Sneetches. Great messages in that one.

What's the message? That it's OK to be a stupid bird?

 

[Dan Lambskin]

There's a Wocket in my pocket down?

That would be the fix-it-up chappie perspective

Tough call for me. No "Fox in Socks" though?

Tweetle beetle battles rule.

THE WOSET IN THE CLOSET makes me think of 'ol Wozzer every time I read this to the seed.

Sorry for Hippling. Kid is at perfect Suess age so I have a lot of recent expertise in this field.

 

[Bobcat10]

Another vote for Fox in Socks.

Of listed, I'd go:

Sneeches

Yertle

Lorax

Very tough to narrow down IMO.

Yes, but you aren't always at the age where hearing Fox in Socks read aloud to you will cause gasping fits of laughter.

Worst Dr. Suess book - Fox in Socks

If you've ever had to read this to your kids, you know what I mean. Do it once, never again.

Wish Dr Suess was still around to write a book about War Machine

Headbutt the slut

[timschochet]

I have no idea what you're talking about. But it's weird and unfunny.

The Butter Battle Book

Too propaganda-ey

The Butter Battle Book

Too propaganda-ey

After the Banh Mi sugar bowl offensive the Hamburger buns achieved a complete victory but the media back at the cupboard ruined morale and support for the war. Either way the battle would havee gone on indefinitely because there were no clear victory conditions.

The lesson learned is that despite superior sesame seeds you cant fight people intent on winning through a guerrilla war among the pots and pans.

This was something the croissant's learned long ago.

Its terrible that the returning buns were just left to go stale and moldy by the toaster government.

No way. That's the best part. That was my favorite one to read to my kids.

I think I'm going to read it to them right now for old times' sake, even though they're 15 and 12.

 

[Juxtatarot]

Horton Hatches the Egg

Funny and a good message for the kids.

The Cold War simplified in an entertaining children's book.

How so? It's not like it promoted a particular side.

Fox in Socks FTW

 

[tri-man 47]

I voted One Fish, Two Fish ...

though my boss gave me Oh, The Things You Can Think after I finished my doctorate last spring (which went well with the single malt that was also included).

 

[Mario Kart]

The Lorax

Although his WWII stuff is pretty good too.

[Foosball God]

Yertle the Turtle, bonus is The Big Brag. Both great stories.

Green Eggs and Ham leading in votes.

Because it's a masterpiece. From what I understand it was a writing exercise for him, wrote a while book whole only using 50 different words. Its brilliant, and has this great rhythm to it, it's my favorite to read to my kids IMO

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

If I Ran the Circus -- not even sure if it's still around, but loved that one as a kid.

There are no uncles on either side. My mother has two sisters and my father has one.

[DaVinci]

Oh The Places You'll Go was my favorite to read to my kids. But my son loved the Grinch. I think I still know most of it by heart.

 

[Sabertooth]

I must have read Green Eggs and Ham 500 times in my life. Used to read it to my kids every night before bed. It's a great story about prejudice, perseverance, and realizing you might not have everything figured out.

 

[hagmania]

And here I just like Seuss books because of the way they sound when you read them.
