I think that The Sneet...
I think that The Sneetches is a great book for children. I really like this book because of the language that Dr. Seuss uses. Dr. Seuss uses a rhyming scheme in this book to where every ending word of the line rhymes with the ending word of the next line. For example, he writes, "The day they decided that Sneetches are Sneetches, And no kind of Sneetch is the best on the beaches," where Sneetches rhymes with beaches. Also, he created his own words, which adds a lot of fun to the story. He created the word Sneetches, which does not make a lot of sense in reality, but is fun for the story purposes. I also like this book because of the illustrations. Dr. Seuss' illustrations are unique compared to other authors. His Sneetches are very animated and original to his style and color technique. They resemble real animals, yet they are very unrealistic, but I think that is what makes his illustrations so great. The main message of this story is that everyone is equal regardless of their appearance.

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser10/27/2012Great introduction to ...Great introduction to racial issues in "The Sneetches". Tells about a story of two "sneetches" who think they are better than the rest. There are various sneetches with various shapes on their belly. But, in the end you will learn everyone is the same. Great book for any age!akg118

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser05/22/2010I was too young to kno...I was too young to know about the Nobel Peace Prize when I read this book for the first time. But if I had known about it, I would have assumed that Dr. Geisel would have been one of the nominees when he published this book. Star-bellied sneetches still stroll down the beaches of every coast of every country. With the wit of the Doctor and some intuition, the children on those beaches will have a chance to change.I remember keeping the lights on when I got to the story about the pants! And I'll never forget those highways that were built around the north-going and south-going Zax. Looks just like San Diego!This book is an excellent and colorful book for many generations of readers to enjoy. Adults will appreciate the wit and children will love the rhyme. It's on my list of Top 10 Children's Books of All Time.kmulvihill
