Your Favorite Seuss (Classic Seuss)

These are fabulous stories: inevitably some favourites are omitted, and other inclusions are questionable. (I could point out a couple puzzlers.) In some cases, the layout has been condensed: nothing left out (that I could tell), but images shrunk to fit several on a page, when the original was a full-page spread.

But these are quibbles, it's great to share these with R & W in a solid hardbound edition.

Nowhere, that I recall, do the essays explain a most surprising fact: I've been pronouncing his name wrong all along:

You’re wrong as the deuce
And you shouldn’t rejoice
If you’re calling him Seuss.
He pronounces it Soice.

Or so claims his Dartmouth roommate and fellow college humourist, Alexander Liang.

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.

A collection of classic works by Dr. Seuss, guaranteed to bring back fond memories.

IT'S WONDERFULL TO HAVE ALL THE SEUSS STORIES IN ONE BOOK.
