Re: I'VE NEVER READ A DR. SEUSS BOOK

[ Edited ]

  I remember when these first were available to buy. So, funny to read. Much more fun than the old  D, Jane & Spot books . I think the rhyming and silliness helped some children become interested in reading because they were silly and funny .

(Could not properly add the boys name because this website  sensored the boy's nickname that the book was called )

Re: I'VE NEVER READ A DR. SEUSS BOOK

I am in my mid 70's and well read.  Went to a good school system and had a library card at 8 and went in my own to take out books, while my Mom or grandmother were in the butcher,  imagine doing that today!  I never read a Dr. Seuss book.  At one point my daughter was given one for graduation from High School.

The books I loved to read to my children were Peter Rabbit and Amelia Bedilia!  There were others of course, but never had Dr. Seuss. No reason.  Lots of Golden Books.

 

i know my granddaughters have been given the whole set of Dr. Seuss books as gifts, I believe a shower.

@Tinkrbl44   That's ok.  I never read To Kill A Mockingbird.  We all lead our own life and can't be expected to all do the same things!

Re: I'VE NEVER READ A DR. SEUSS BOOK

I don't remember ever reading one I didn't like.  Personal favorites are The Cat in the Hat, Horton Hears A Who, and the Grinch!  

 

Funny I was thinking about reading some again, just last week I had that thought!  The Cat in the Hat was the one I was thinking about.

@Tinkrbl44 @As a huge grinch fan, that is my favorite. I also like oh the places you will go. Many college graduates that I am close to get that along with another gift (usually money). One of my grads has her book in her law office! I think they are fun! Read and enjoy!

Re: I'VE NEVER READ A DR. SEUSS BOOK

I would rather read a Dr. Seuss book than one where the plot is based on a who dunnit murder or some sort of extramarital romance.
