The Sneetches

Star or no star, sneetches are sneetches! At least, that’s what the sneetches of the beaches learn at the end of the story. Dr. Seuss presents a valuable lesson at the end of this story: just because someone is different, it doesn’t make them bad. Embrace your differences, and everyone will be glad.

What Was I Scared Of

A floating pair of green pants with no owner is definitely scary. It’s even scarier when it seems to be following you everywhere you go. But remember, you might not be the only one who’s scared. It’s important to consider the other side’s perspective, not just yours!

Oh the Thinks You Can Think

This book celebrates the potential of an unlimited imagination. It’s great to be able to think of anything, even if it doesn’t exist yet, and Dr. Seuss proves that with the multitude of made-up words in his books.
