Summary
Embrace diversity with Dr。 Seuss and the Sneetches in this collection of stories about acceptance！ The new matte finish cover makes it a great gift！
The Sneetches got really quite smart on that day，
The day they decided that Sneetches are Sneetches。
And no kind of Sneetch is the best of the beaches。
The story of the Star-bellied Sneetches and their star-less friends is a perfect guide for kids growing up in today's multicultural world。 This classic is joined by equally entertaining tales: The Zax， a humorous take on the art of compromise; Too Many Daves， which shows kids that sometimes standing out is better than blending in; and What Was I Scared Of？， which demonstrates how empathy can transform a stranger into a friend。
In these four energetic stories， Dr。 Seuss challenges the idea that we have to look the same or be the same to find common ground。 Full of Dr。 Seuss's signature rhymes and lively humor， this story collection is a must-have for any reader， young or old。
Pretty much all the stuff you need to know is in Dr。 Seuss。 -President Barack Obama

I love these stories。 Even though they are children stories， they have a good moral behind them。

Despite being labelled a 'children's book'， the moral issues that Dr。 Seuss frequently wrote about and addressed are really quite amazing。 The Sneetches is 100% about racism， classism， religious discrimination， etc。。。 I'm unsure if he chose the stars intentionally （as I know he was heavily involved with the war effort in WWII） but I certainly wonder。 Dr。 Seuss could convey a lot through stories and pictures that he wrote for children。 That makes really incredible in my opinion。 The other short s Despite being labelled a 'children's book'， the moral issues that Dr。 Seuss frequently wrote about and addressed are really quite amazing。 The Sneetches is 100% about racism， classism， religious discrimination， etc。。。 I'm unsure if he chose the stars intentionally （as I know he was heavily involved with the war effort in WWII） but I certainly wonder。 Dr。 Seuss could convey a lot through stories and pictures that he wrote for children。 That makes really incredible in my opinion。 The other short stories may not have all conveyed huge important lessons， but I enjoyed them regardless。 I don't remember reading the one about the empty pants running around - I loved it！ 。。。more

The late American Philosopher Gareth B。 Matthews reviewed this book in the "Thinking in Stories" column he produced for the Institute for the Advancement of Philosophy for Children （available here: https://www。montclair。edu/iapc/review。。。）。 He wrote: Dr。 Seuss 。。。 was first， and most of all， a moralist。 He clearly wanted to have a significant influence on the moral life of children， as well as， one suspects， the moral life of their elders。 That motivation places him squarely in a venerable tradi The late American Philosopher Gareth B。 Matthews reviewed this book in the "Thinking in Stories" column he produced for the Institute for the Advancement of Philosophy for Children （available here: https://www。montclair。edu/iapc/review。。。）。 He wrote: Dr。 Seuss 。。。 was first， and most of all， a moralist。 He clearly wanted to have a significant influence on the moral life of children， as well as， one suspects， the moral life of their elders。 That motivation places him squarely in a venerable tradition that runs back through Hans Christian Andersen and Heinrich Hoffmann （inventor of Struwwelpeter） to Aesop and his ancient fables。 What makes Dr。 Seuss stand out from the tradition of moralism in children’s literature is the way he avoided being moralistic。 How can a moralist avoid being moralistic？ Humorous verse certainly helps。 So do zany drawings and ridiculous plots。 But the plots need to be wisely ridiculous。 And Dr。 Seuss was a genius at thinking up wisely ridiculous plots。" 。。。more

（4☆ Would recommend）Dr。 Seuss books are great for learning， since they have such colorful pages， engaging pictures， and rhyme。 Kids love them。

Another great Dr。 Seuss book。 I re-read too many daves to my son last night and we laughed a lot。 We both love the ridiculous names， the silly ideas and the illustrations。 There truly is no other writer like Dr。 Seuss。 I will always be a fan。

Dr。 Seuss has upheld his ability to use words and pictures to make us think of deep topics since he wrote this book in 1953。 Even now， in 2021， these words hit deep with a lot of people。 The Sneetches in this book can stand for a lot of things today: race， sexuality and physical differences。 But whatever it is that you are connecting it to， it always has the same positive ending: it doesn't matter how we are different， it matters how we are the same。 Dr。 Seuss has upheld his ability to use words and pictures to make us think of deep topics since he wrote this book in 1953。 Even now， in 2021， these words hit deep with a lot of people。 The Sneetches in this book can stand for a lot of things today: race， sexuality and physical differences。 But whatever it is that you are connecting it to， it always has the same positive ending: it doesn't matter how we are different， it matters how we are the same。 。。。more

Sneetches， of course， is a great story。 I was also really impressed with "The Zax"， "Too Many Daves"， and "What Was I Scared Of？" all of which I didn’t remember。 E。， on the other hand， slept peacefully through all four stories before long。 Sneetches， of course， is a great story。 I was also really impressed with "The Zax"， "Too Many Daves"， and "What Was I Scared Of？" all of which I didn’t remember。 E。， on the other hand， slept peacefully through all four stories before long。 。。。more

Some great themes， although given that they are shorter stories， each one seemed to end too abruptly in comparison with most of his other work。

About Prejudice This book taught me that different isn’t bad。 It’s just different。 In a country so divided we need to remember that we are more alike than different， stubbornness does not get you anywhere， fearing someone different is silly， and power is allowing the unreasonable jerk to pass you by。 The Zax with the power would be the one that steps aside and then carries on his way no longer impeded。

I liked it as it can be used as an introduction to how diversity does not mean badness。 The simple clear message of love of someone who physically looks different then you is a great thing for children to learn early on。 A million lesson can be created on this book and a million have because of the way it conveys and shows how the differences in out community make the community as a whole great。 This book addresses social issues in a humorous manner that still points out the problems with the wo I liked it as it can be used as an introduction to how diversity does not mean badness。 The simple clear message of love of someone who physically looks different then you is a great thing for children to learn early on。 A million lesson can be created on this book and a million have because of the way it conveys and shows how the differences in out community make the community as a whole great。 This book addresses social issues in a humorous manner that still points out the problems with the world but shows it in a way that even little children can understand。 I like it and will use in in future lessons。 。。。more

I just paired this with Olgilvy by Deborah Underwood。 Both books are about being judged by your appearance。 Sneetches with the stars and Olgilvy with what people wear。Why do we chose what we wear and how much do we care what people think。 Soon kids will wonder why it was even a deal。 I love telling them that there was a time when women were not allowed to wear pants。
