Kid Reads | Dr. Seuss



Dr. Seuss books are a favorite in our family and is often one of the selected bedtime stories.  L has been on a Dr. Seuss binge lately.  We have been reading The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, Hop on Pop, Yertle the Turtle, and The Sneetches - our current fave.  L really likes the zany illustrations, the nonsensical characters, and the rhyming scheme that Dr. Seuss stories have.  I like them for all of the above but also enjoy how they touch on moral issues in a fun and engaging way.  In particular, I love the message in The Sneetches  -  about how discrimination and prejudice is just plain silly.   There are some other stories in this book with great lessons about compromise, individuality, and overcoming the fear of the unknown.   All in all, a captivating read and definitely one that will remain in our repertoire of bedtime stories.
