These funny but thought-provoking picture books are ideal for independent readers or reading aloud. Dr. Seuss addresses life’s ups and downs with humorous verse and whimsical illustrations. Dr. Seuss’s beloved story teaches kids to treat the planet with kindness. Just what the doctor ordered for new retirees, old souls, and kids at heart. The perfect celebration of the person you were born to be. A tiny speck of dust contains an entire miniature world--Who-ville. Like mistletoe, candy canes, and caroling, the Grinch is a mainstay of the holidays.

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2024

I was expecting a Dr Seuss rhyming book, Oh My Gosh!! This was far beyond my expectations, so so cute! The story line was adorable, literally every page mentions “How special you are, just being you”! Everyone needs to hear that, young and old. Especially in today’s world.
I also was ok in purchasing this book, assuming more than likely it would be read a few times then put away to not be read again. NO! I don’t see that happening for a long time with this treasure!! I actually ordered 7 more to have on hand for other upcoming birthdays.

J'ai apprécié le prix abordable de ce livre classique en anglais pour enfants par Dr Seuss. Pour enfants (et adultes) anglophones.

Great birthday gift for English speakers. Classic Dr. Seuss. Slim paperback version. Affordable price. I bought this for my son's third birthday. It's still slightly old for him.

A lovely read. Encourages one to be oneself. "Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one in the world that is youer than you. " Inculcates self-love which is so important in a world which just keeps criticising others for something or the other. It also helps children respect each one for what they are.

El precio y la calidad me parecen adecuados, pero los colores se ven como apagados, al principio pensé que me habían mandado un ejemplar muy viejo, pero creo que simplemente así son los tonos, tiene muchisimo texto (lo compré para mi niño de 3 años), definitivamente es para niños mas grandes. Aún así me lo quede y espero en unos años se interese más por él.
