Average Rating: 
Rating:  - not a very good collection
My kids and I love Dr. Suess very much, and yet, I don't recommend this collection.
First, not all of these stories are of the interesting ones. There are many stories here that are of the kind of the nonesense books, stories that don't really have a plot, or a moral, or something changing, or any real caracter. I am talking about stories like "If I ran the zoo", "Things you see on Mullberry street", "McEligot's Pool". They mostly talk about all kinds of different funny animals. My ... Read More
Rating:  - This is a thick & heavy "collectible" edition of 13 stories with extras...
Every few weeks, I read one of these stories to my family after dinner as we sit at the table. Our kids are "older" than Dr. Seuss now but we have been enjoying re-visiting the memories of yesteryear as well as talking about the lessons in the stories that fit with junior high and high school age realities.
Having a page of background about Dr. Seuss at the beginning of each story has been special as well ~ we've enjoyed getting to know more about this delightful man and his life. ... Read More
Rating: - Dr Seuss collection
Much more than a humorist or fanciful children's writer, Dr Seuss was ahead of his time...his social and political commentaries are much wider in scope than most people realize. He should be required reading through middle school--even beyond. His simple themes and observations ask the larger questions every society should continually ask and demand a commitment from the reader to chose a point of view.
Rating: - Great Seuss collection
This is my 3 y.o.'s favorite book, he calls it "the big book" and almost every night he asks for it when it's time for story-telling, even though he has a big collection of books which he loves, including many Seuss books, none can top this one.
This is a great book, it allows you to have lots of Seuss stories all gathered up even if you don't have a lot of space in your house, and it's great for traveling because you can take so many stories with you in one single volume. Plus, they ... Read More
Rating: - Your Favorite Dr. Seuss
We all love Dr. Suess and I thought this would be a great deal to get 13 stories to read to my 1 and 3 year olds for bedtime stories. The problem is that the book is too big to cuddle up with on the couch with two little ones. We returned it and bought a few of the smaller, 1 story, Dr. Suess classics.
