What Is Your Favorite Dr. Seuss Book?

[grimes70]

Theodore Geisel Birthday (see History Thread). I know most everyone one of you read his books as a child and then those with progeny to their kids and grandkids. [No kids, just a couple nieces]. So many to choose from. Vote for your favorite and if you feel like posting why or anything related please do. Especially if you choose Other.

I am very old school. Plain old Cat In The Hat. My first of his and because of that had my mom hitting the library regularly. A habit I retained most of my life.

I object to the lack of One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

 

[BillOfRights]

Fox in Socks, not and.

I don't remember it having the same moral story as some maybe more important works, but I laughed so hard reading that book or having it read to me.

Dang. Should have looked and not used this 3" floppy of a memoy.

Hop on Pop

Same!

 

[superrific]

Hop on Pop is the correct answer. It's a fantastic reading starter. Many of the other ones are just purely silly and aren't necessarily popular. My boys never really cared for Dr. Suess except for Hop on Pop, Fox in Socks (only when I would read it to them), and Cat in the Hat (because there's a TV show).

How lucky you are
To think that I saw it on Mulberry street
McElligot's Pool

 

[Patb78]

To Think That I Saw It In Mulberry Street was the inspiration for John Fogerty’s Looking Out My Backdoor.

I voted Cat in the Hat, but my favorite is his first (I think) book as Dr. Seuss: And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street.

I recently read this book, and it was fun

Pale Green Pants - as an introduction to horror.

You know, I just don't recall this one.

I know I read most of the Dr Seuss as a child. I read them over and over until my 11th grade teacher said I couldn't do a book report on a Dr Seuss book.  And I read them so many times to each of my daughters.

The Butter Battle Book is about two opposing and adjacent communities engaged in nuclear proliferation. Seems pretty apt nowadays.

Pale Green Pants - as an introduction to horror.

My kids loved that one. We even stuffed some green pants for Halloween one year.

Sneetches is also a solid option.
