I recently learned that the author was originally very racist & used to draw political cartoons. At some point in his life he had a change of heart. That is when he became Dr. Suess & set out to teach children how to end the cycle of bigotry. "Sneeches" is a simplified straightforward example of this, but my favorite by far, is the last of the four "What Was I Scared of." It's not as well known, as many of his other stories and its really a shame. It I think it's a great lesson that I wish more adults could learn. Everytime I get to the end, I have a hard time saying the words because I get choked up. I have bought many copies to give as gifts.

Great book! The pictures are colorful and the characters are fun to look at. Children will have a great time looking at these crazy looking pictures. I think they'll love them. Hearing the stories will keep the kiddos interested. Dr. Sues always has great books.
