1: Dr. Suess rocks
he's one excellant teacher. This is a great book to read at nap, bedtime, or anytime. It also teaches good lessons in a fun way.

2: An excellent lesson in life
I recently read this book to my grandchildren. As I was reading it, I realized that the book described a situation that was occurring in my own career. The more I read, the bigger my smile became. I realized that I was Mack and my co-worker was Yertle. As I finished the book, I told my grandsons that this was by far and away my favorite Dr. Seuss book. They asked why and I told them that sometimes in life, people seeking more and more power and greed will try to step on you and it's up to you to stand up for yourself.
Great book, great morale to the story.

3: Yertle is still fresh after all these years
I remember this one only vaguely from childhood. But when a friend loaned it to us recently, I had to buy our own copy.
There are three stories inside:
Yertle the Turtle -- be considerate
(something about Gertie's tail feather) -- be content
The Big Brag -- be humble
(sorry I can't remember the name of the second one -- the book is tucked away in the slumbering bedroom and I am NOT going in there to check it)
The morals of the stories are accessible at the kindergarten level -- and nice reminders for adults too.
The rhyming and meter, as always with Dr. Seuss, are great. Just perfect for reading out loud. Easy for the kids to memorize the lines, too.
This one deserves a spot next to Green Eggs and Ham and all the rest.

4: Perfect
This was a fun book that I enjoyed as a youngster and I wanted to add it to my little niece's library!

5: Best book!
Of course this is a great book - what other story talks about bringing down a king with one great burp! Classic book.
