A great collection of 13 stories written by Dr. Seuss compiled into one book. The book begins by telling who Dr. Seuss was and showing pictures throughout his life. Before each one of the stories is an essay written by different individuals either talking about the story or about Dr. Seuss himself. One of the essays was written by Audrey Geisel (the wife of Dr. Seuss). The essays bring another level to the stories written by Dr. Seuss. A great book to add to your collection. (

This book is remarkable. 13 of Dr. Seuss's most well known stories, all comprised in one edition. This is a treasure trove for those who love children's literature, and especially for those with children. The greatest dynamic of the book, the illustrations, are completely retained in this edition as well.

I am somewhat surprised this book isn't more popular than what it is. (

Media: Sketch Drawings
Genre: Fantasy; Poetry
Critique: "Horton Hears a Who!" is an example of fantasy because things such as talking elephants and tiny people do not exist in real life. This could also be considered a form of poetry because Dr. Seuss using many rhyming words much like other forms of poetry. This book is also a good example of a round character. We know Horton very well through his thoughts and his actions. We can tell that Horton is a very caring and righteous elephant just by the way he treats the tiny whose. (
