Dr. Seuss is the master of rhyme, and this beautiful hardcover book featuring thirteen of his stories is a perfect way to display his work. Each clever story inspires readers in a unique way. They emphasize concepts like being creative, being an individual, and being respectful of each other and our planet. Seuss turns the world upside down and inside out, and yet somehow everything seems to make sense. He leaves readers laughing and thinking at the same time. Read them out loud and read them of

With all respect to the designers, in my opinion this style of reprint — not faithful to the original page layout — ruins the stories. Compare them side-by-side and you'll see what I mean. The stories themselves are, of course, excellent. My only issue is with the format, whereby four pages are rejiggered into two. The extra material added between the stories is nice, but I'd recommend tracking down these books in their original format.

Who has anything bad to say about Seuss? I purchased this book for our family library. I've loved discovering some of the Seuss's longer books. The book has information about the author's life, with famous author's essays on Dr Seuss. The books appear to be condensed slightly so two pages are fit onto one- it seems all the original illustrations are there, just not as large.

Not only do you get the Seuss stories, but in between are one page facts about Dr. Seuss and his life, art, and writing. There are also letters from famous authors and why they enjoy the story you are about to read. These little anecdotes are worth buying the book alone, plus you get all the Seuss stories.

Awesome book to have. Some of my favorite are in here. Plus between the stories there are little tidbits of Dr. Seuss and other projects he worked on. At the beginning of the story there is a little tidbit of how that story came to be, or why he wrote it.

Carsten and I really enjoyed this. There are 13 of Seuss' best books included in their entirety... The Cat in The Hat, The Lorax, Green Eggs and Ham, Yertle the Turtle, and Horton Hears a Who to just name a few! Carsten was pretty proud of himself once we finished all the stories because it is such a big book. This was a great find at the library! I am tempted to buy one to keep on our shelves. It also includes a lot of biographical information about Dr. Seuss and his books, which is really

i freakin' love dr. seuss. this is a pretty amazing compilation of some of his better known works (and a few lesser read ones). each work is prefaced by an essay by a well-known writer, entertainer, etc. about the importance of the work to that individual, and to the reading public in general. there's lots of neat ephemera between the stories -- pictures of little-seen seuss sketches, early drafts, other artwork, illustrations, and biographical info.

This book is awesome for the artwork, the fact that it has taught so many to read, and the morals to the stories.

If you are ready to take a trip back and time and revisit some of the most interesting and intriguing stories written by Dr. Seuss this is the collection to have. It also gives writers great insight on the genius that was embodied by one of the most masterful children book creators. He was an example of artistic excellence in marketing for all types of American Merchandise..

A fantastic collection of Dr. Seuss... if you only buy one Dr. Seuss book, this is the one to get. It's embarrassing to battle with your five-year-old about WHICH story to read at night, but we do. My favs lean toward the Sneetches, the Lorax, the Grinch who Stole Christmas... all those with their moral messages. My son just loves the ones about fishing and animals (McElligot's Pool, If I Ran the Zoo). In the end, we both win... they're all great stories.

I wonder if more people would care about the environment if they had read, or had read to them when they were young, 'The Lorax'; its probably one of the best pro-environment stories ever written and without being preachy it paints a grim picture of what could happen in our future. Take time out of your day to hug a tree, they do a lot more for us than we give them credit for.

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 excellent addition to my children's library. 13 classic Seuss. Deciding to read one every night for a bedtime story got me through the book finally. It was rather fun. I liked reading some of the background of Seuss as well. I still think I am very sadly lacking in my Seuss reading and should probably read more. But at least this is part of my library.

When was the last time you read, "The Lorax?"
Anyone that knows how to read should own this book from from 3, to 30,to 90. Seuss never gets old. If you are too old, and too cool to read Dr. Seuss, go ahead and end your life, because you are incapable of fun and remembering the joys of childhood.

My Daddy read Dr Seuss to me and my sister and I couldn't wait to learn to read so that I could read them by myself. My daughter loved Dr. Seuss, too. The nice thing about Dr Seuss is that kids love his books and they are so clever, parents don't mind reading them over and over!

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!)

Wonderful, succinct collection of Seuss verse. I laughed, I nearly cried and I couldn't help but let go of the repression of my childhood memories for the 300 some odd pages of this collection.
