Dr. Seuss Books Every Kid (and Former Kid) Needs to Read

Dr. Seuss Beginner Book Collection
There’s a cat in a hat,
There’s a ham on a dish.
There’s a red fish, a blue fish,
A fox wearing socks.
This one’s great for a newbie
Just building his list.

The Cat in the Hat
For the boy or the girl
Who likes to be naughty
And when mom goes out
To practice karate,
Or some twins in your life
Who wreak havoc, cause strife,
Who break vases, pull tails, and torture poor snails,
Thing One and Thing Two
Will likely ring true.

Fox in Socks
I’ve not known a fox to wear socks
Or a chick with a brick,
But I bet that old Seuss,
A doc, not a mister,
Knew you have a friend
Who loves a tongue twister.

Green Eggs and Ham (B&N Exclusive Edition)
A special edition!
For the reader with one in the kitchen,
One in the bedroom
And one in the bath,
One in the closet,
One while doing her math,
One on the porch
And one in the car.
She can’t have one too many,
Especially one that shines like a star.

Horton Hears a Who
“A person’s a person no matter how small”
Is the theme of this book, the main point you might call,
Which makes it ideal for a Do-good-better-bester
Or the littlest kid, who to be heard has to pester.

Horton and the Kwuggerbug and More Lost Stories
For the Dr. Seuss fan who thinks she knows all
Comes a volume of stories quite large and yet small.
Unknown until now by all but the scholar,
These four nonetheless are Seussian proper.
There’s Horton and Marco and even a Grinch,
Humor and color and of morals a pinch.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Speaking of Grinch,
To miss him would be sad.
In a list of Seuss books,
He’s the baddest of bad.
Yet a conscience he discovers
In the unlikeliest of places
Full of little Who smiles
On little Who faces.
When the Grinch stole Who Christmas,
He stole our hearts
And went down forever
As holiday art.

The Lorax
Today we recycle, reduce, and reuse
Our paper,
Our cans,
Even our shoes.
But in ’71 the trees they chop-chopped
To make cardboard and houses and flippity-flops!
‘Til along came the Lorax to teach every one
That too much chop-chopping and chop-chopping’d be DONE!
This book will be perfect for a conscientious teen
Or a friend who likes all of her gifts to be green.

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish
If your child likes giggles
And spit up and wiggles,
You may think it’s too early to get them to read,
But we tell you, we do,
There still is a need
For bright books, simple words,
And some reading from YOU.

Oh, the Places You’ll Go
Yes, the teens! What of them? The upcoming grads
With big plans, bigger fears, both the lasses and lads.
They need some direction
But up, down, or side?
Give this gift and remember, it’s theirs to decide!
