What would Gerald McGrew do if he ran the zoo?

What will happen when Horton hears a Who?

Can the Sneetches find a way to be friends?

In the County of Keck are yawns catching?

=========

Here five beloved Dr. Seuss books are brought together, offering readers young and old a delightful glimpse into the imaginative worlds of the delightful storyteller. No changes of words, no deleting of pictures . . . each story here is told exactly as it was when it was first published.

Young readers will enjoy “Bartholomew and the Ooblek” and “If I Ran the Zoo” before searching for Who-ville in “Horton Hears a Who.” Then it’s time for “The Sneetches and other show more stories,” including several shorter Seuss stories: “The Zax,” “Too Many Daves,” and “What Was I Scared Of?” before settling down with “Dr. Seuss’s Sleep Book.” It’s a not-to-be-missed treasury of fun.

Highly recommended.

Have read all of these separately at various times.
Some of the titles have been entered as separate records.
The book as a whole is heavy to hold when reading to kids; better to have individual volumes.
Wonderful stories by Seuss and instant classics for everyone.
Their magic tree house takes Jack and Annie deep into the sea, where they meet up with dolphins, sharks, and octopi as they search for the answer to an ancient riddle.
Picture books, poetry books, explaining things about how the world works.
