最喜欢DR.SEUSS的书，非常朗朗上口，宝宝非常喜欢。
To the obvious Fox news loving republican who commented on this book: context is everything. This book was written during a time in our country when people were segregated by race. The story points out the special treatment that WHITE people gave to themselves, and the way that they treated black Americans based solely on something that they were born with; different skin, or a star on their bellies. And the hero entrepreneur is basically the capitalist system because it thrives on social struggles between groups to create a false happiness in order to make a profit without an actual product. And since he left town when they're was no money left, it proves that he had no interest in helping anyone. The point of the story is, we're all people, no one is special, and try not to get tricked into spending your money on make belief happiness, because you'll just end up a penniless fool. That's a really good lesson for children. It teaches mutual respect and self worth.
These are great stories with excellent messages. I would have liked to have given it 5 stars but there was a problem. I ordered two of these books at the same time for grandkids. One book was perfect and the other arrived missing pages 13-29 from the middle of the book. Sixteen pages missing is significant in a children's book! The pages in question were not torn out--- the book was bound without them. Amazon has agreed to replace the defective book but it's too early to say what I will get in the next shipment. My advice is go ahead and buy the book, but upon arrival be sure to carefully check to see that the pages are intact.
Many years ago, I saw The Sneetches on television and promptly got a copy of it for my youngest child. The VCR is now out of date, but the message the story brings is timeless. As a teacher, I frequently showed the video to my high school students because in such a simple way it helped them understand a lesson about discrimination, bullying and tolerance. My teenage students were totally engaged!. They loved it and the story became a springboard for a lively discussion. I love having the book and already have used it to entertain and practice reading with my neighbor's little girl. As a first grader, she also was able to understand, and simply explain to me, the ethical lesson in this Dr. Seuss story..
The Sneetches and Other Stories is fantastic reading for your child. It's not just that excellent first story in the title, but also three others that range from fun to thoughtful.
The Sneetches is about creatures who separate into two groups based on appearance. With the star-bellied Sneetches looking down on the non-star-bellied Sneetches, tension builds...until in walks an entrepreneur who can instantly erase the differences with a "star-on" machine. I've heard reviewers crank about this story being pro-welfare, or liberal propaganda, but the lesson is more about prejudice, and while I won't spoil the story for you, there is a very P.T. Barnum-styled ending that helps the Sneetches realize that snap judgements lead to blinding one to what matters.
The story "The Zax" is another blindered example where two creatures hate each other so much they let life pass them by. The rest of the world moves on, while they can't seem to get over their mutual dislike of each other. This story is very short.
Then we have "Too Many Daves". Hilarious and silly, this is practically a short two-page poem, all about a mother who made the mistake of naming all of her children Dave. My daughter was always delighted when I read this story because of all the silly words in it.
Which brings us to the unsung gem at the end of "The Sneetches and Other Stories": the tale "What Was I Afraid Of?" Dealing with a child's fear of the unknown, this spooky little tale resolves itself sweetly, and I really enjoy the way Dr. Seuss shows a child that perhaps with a bit of determination, one might find that one's fears and anxieties really aren't so bad after all. The fact that the main character is afraid of a pair of green pants is silly enough that a child can instantly grasp that there are reasonable fears...and then there are unreasonable ones.
Whatever stories you choose to read, read to your child. You will see a huge difference in their learning, because you took the time to be with them and encouraged them. I loved The Sneetches and Other Stories because its lessons to me are the sorts of things every child should learn about dealing with others and with themselves.
My all time favorite. This will teach your children about how silly it is to prejudge, discriminate and even to constantly demand more! more! MORE! I think it puts into a child's perspective, bullying, fairness, being nice, being equitable in our everyday relationships. To be more accepting of others and even ourselves as we are and not having to change ourselves to "fit in" with another's pre-conceived notions of who and what we should be.
