Parrothead Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Which is the most fun Dr. Seuss book to read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Peach Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Horton Hatches the Egg is my favorite to read. I read it so many times over and over to my oldest when he was little that I memorized it. I could still recite most of it, probably. Good memories!

Mergath Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 My favorites are Oh, the Places You'll Go and The Lorax. Green Eggs and Ham makes me want to rip my hair out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I voted Green Eggs and Ham. Hop on Pop was my kids' favorite, but made me want to run away screaming. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbkaren Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 "Happy Birthday to You!" ...the best Dr. Seuss fantasy-land ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I am not sure which was the most fun, but I have to share what I did with Grand kids this summer when they were visiting for a week. I found some Dr. Suess socks in the dollar bin at Target. I bought a bunch for them and me to wear. Everynight before bedtime we would all grab our favorite pair of Dr. Suess socks and have Dr. Suess storytime on the sofa. I have a Dr. Suess Treasury book, so we didn't run out of stories. Memories are as grand the kids were. So much fun! They are all still talking about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariannNOVA Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I love Bartholomew and the Oobleck - mainly because in Dr. Dave's Teaching Manuals (from royal fireworks press) there is a unit with that book and then instructions to make slime.

OnTheBrink Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Mr. Brown can Moo, can you? Another fun book to read, although not a Dr. Suess book, is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewe Mama Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I'm not a Dr. Seuss fan, but the relatives keep buying his books for the children, so I dutifully read them. Horton Hatches an Egg is the least annoying from my stand point. I haven't read most of the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrogMom5 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hop on Pop. I polled my kids and they all had different answers - ds#1 The Foot Book, ds #2 all of them, dd Green Eggs and Ham.

KristinaBreece Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 My ABSOLUTE ABSOLUTE favorite of Dr. Seuss's is: The Sneetches!!! I actually read this poem aloud at a fun/talent show. (And I don't get up on stage - EVER) Soooooo love this book! LOVE IT! Bitter Batter Butter Battle LOVE IT! But the most fun Dr. Suess book to read right now at my house is The Lorax. The kids have it almost memorized. DS loves it! Their favorite line, which they stop and gear up all their "ham" for is: "Business is business, and business must grow! Regardless of crummies in tummies, you know!" They say it together while trying to look sick to their stomachs, and DD always rubs her tummy. It's so DRAMATIC. I love it!!

Mothersweets Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 The only Dr. Seuss books I can stand to read are Horton Hatches the Egg and The Grinch. Other than those two, I hate his books. eta - Aww, shoot. I forgot about The Lorax. I like that one, too. Maybe I don't hate him as much as I thought.

twoxcell Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I seem to read Go, Dogs Go! an awful lot. Go dogs go is not by Dr. Suess. It is by P.D. Eastman.;) I love Dr. Suess! I have very found memories of my mom reading all of them to me as a child. My favorites are Horton, the Sneetches, the grinch, and The Pale Green Pants With Nobody Inside Them. My oldest dd loved the pale green pants so much that I have it memorized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abacus2 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I love Fox in Sox. However, I grew up listening to an excellent audio recording of Dr. Seuss books, so that narrator's voice is in my head giving me structure for the tongue twister. I found it currently for sale! When I looked a few years ago, I could not find it anywhere. http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Seuss-Presents-Fox-Sox/dp/B0012GN1EI/ref=tmm_acd_title_0 You can listen to a sample of the stories.

Margo out of lurking Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Go dogs go is not by Dr. Suess. It is by P.D. Eastman.;) Ahahaha, I voted Other, because my most fun Dr. Seuss book is Go, Dog, Go! Then I'll choose Red Fish, Blue Fish. Neither are particularly my favorite, but based on the poll wording (most fun), that's my answer. I never knew people didn't like Dr. Seuss; I've learned something new on this thread.:001_huh: My true confession: I never liked Berenstain Bears and Franklin was just okay.

I had that too and I can't help but read the book the same way! lol I have to say Fox in Sox is my personal favorite. I am really shocked to hear that so many people do NOT like Seuss. :001_huh: We love him here. We own nearly every one, including a large treasury. Thidwick the Big Hearted Moose is a favorite here with the children. And McElligot's Pool! All the usual suspects as well: The Sneetches, The Lorax, Horton Hatches the Egg, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Honestly, I've always loved reading aloud The Lorax. It was one of my favorite books when I was younger. I just adore those trees, but it also reads so enjoyably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caroline Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 My oldest loved the one about the pale green pants with nobody inside them. My favorite is The Lorax, with the Zax being a close second.
