Dr Seuss Books
Dr Seuss wrote and illustrated a large collection of books for children in his lifetime and wrote a number of others that were illustrated by other artists. Many of the books in the Dr Seuss collection have been family favourites for a few generations now with their popularity remaining high. Books such as Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, How The Grinch stole Christmas and Horton Hears a Who are household names because of their wild imaginative illustrations and themes along with enjoyable rhyming text.
I hope you enjoy Dr Seuss's book collection as much as I still do.

Published in 1937
And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street
Amazon Price: $4.95 (as of 02/17/2012)
And To Think I Saw It On Mulberry Street was Dr Seuss's first children's book and his wild imagination is evident right from the start. In this book a boy exaggerates the things he sees in Mulberry Street from the mundane to the incredible; a horse and cart becomes giraffes pulling a chariot and similar extrapolations of the truth based on a fertile imagination. Great fun.

Dr Seuss Hats
Many of Dr Seuss's characters have trademark hats and there are a number of Dr Seuss-themed hats available to buy. These hats are quite ridiculous, in many cases, and reflect the fun of Dr Seuss's world.

McElligot's Pool
Published in 1947
McElligot's Pool (Classic Seuss)
Amazon Price: $8.19 (as of 02/16/2012)
McElligot's Pool is unique in that the illustrations are in a different style from all other Dr Seuss books.

Bartholomew And The Oobleck
Published in 1949
Bartholomew and the Oobleck: (Caldecott Honor Book) (Classic Seuss)
Amazon Price: $7.90 (as of 02/16/2012)
The folly of meddling with nature is highlighted in Bartholomew and the Oobleck, where the King commands his magicians to provide weather other than rain. Instead, the stick "Oobleck" falls from the sky and causes untold problems. Eventually the overly proud King is persuaded to apologize and the Oobleck disappears.
If I Ran The Zoo
Published in 1950
If I Ran the Zoo (Classic Seuss)
Amazon Price: $8.18 (as of 02/16/2012)
In If I Ran The Zoo, young Gerald McGrew is unsatisfied with the exotic animals he sees in the zoo and, in Dr Seuss typical fashion, his imagination is allowed to run wild as he thinks up an array of fantastic animals with equally fabulous names. This is classic Seuss and full of fun for imaginative kids.

In this book, Dr Seuss's fertile imagination gives ornithologists something to get excited about and makes parents and children laugh together.
Horton Hears A Who
Published in 1954
Horton Hears A Who!
Amazon Price: $6.98 (as of 02/16/2012)
Horton Hears A Who is the charming story of the caring elephant, Horton, taking responsibility for the tiny Who community that only he seems to be able to hear; this puts him at a disadvantage as everyone else thinks he is imagining things. Horton's quote, " a person's a person no matter how small" is one of the most memorable of all Dr Seuss quotes.
On Beyond Zebra
Published in 1955
On Beyond Zebra! (Classic Seuss)
Amazon Price: $7.48 (as of 02/16/2012)
On Beyond Zebra is Dr Seuss's linguistic fun taken to a completely different level whereby new letters of the alphabet are invented and animals that begin with that letter are described. Wonderful fun for children and parents to marvel at the funny animals and wordplay together - a real celebration of Dr Seuss's nonsense world.
If I Ran The Circus
Published in 1956
If I Ran the Circus (Classic Seuss)
Amazon Price: $7.88 (as of 02/16/2012)
In If I Ran The Circus a young boy lets his imagination run absolutely wild with his imaginary circus behind Mr Sneelock's store. This book contains Dr Seuss's typical inventive wordplay and vivid imagination alongside his trademark illustrations. This is an amusing book which Dr Seuss fans will enjoy.

The Cat In The Hat
Published in 1957
The Cat in the Hat
Amazon Price: $3.64 (as of 02/16/2012)
The Cat in the Hat is the story of how a mischievous cat and his two helpers, Thing 1 and Thing 2, arrive to entertain two children left at home whilst it is too rainy to play outside. The Cat and the Things create havoc and chaos in the house and the children's goldfish, Norval, is not amused. This is a very funny Dr Seuss book with probably his most recognisable and famous character.
Cat In The Hat First Edition
Fans of the Cat in the Hat can worship their anti-hero with these first editions of the story.
The Cat In The Hat Comes Back
Published in 1958
The Cat in the Hat Comes Back
Amazon Price: $8.00 (as of 02/16/2012)
In The cat in the Hat Comes Back the mischievous cat returns to "help" remove a dirty mark from the bath. However, his particular brand of helping causes chaos and the introduction of "Little Cats A-Z" is reminiscent of his first visit with Things 1 and 2.
The Cat In The Hat Auctions
The Cat In The Hat is Dr Seuss's trademark character and there are literally hundreds of associated products based upon him. eBay is a good place to look for Cat in the Hat bargains or rare items.

Green Eggs And Ham - Published in 1960
Green Eggs And Ham (I Can Read It All By Myself Beginner Books)
by Dr Seuss
Amazon Price: $8.99
Green Eggs and Ham is perhaps Dr Seuss's most-loved book and is the story that was read by the Reverend Jesse Jackson as a tribute to Dr Seuss on the author's death.
This is the story of how Sam-I-Am eventually manages to persuade an unadventurous eater to try the strange meal of Green Eggs and Ham with the help of a fox, a mouse, a goat, a boat, a train, a box a house amongst other things.
This is my favourite Dr Seuss book and if you only ever read one of his stories, make it this one.

The Sneetches and Other Stories
Amazon Price: $7.99 (as of 02/16/2012)
The Sneetches are a society of creatures that inhabit beaches but are divided socially by having stars on their bellies or not.

Fox in Socks [FOX IN SOCKS] [Hardcover]
Amazon Price: $8.62 (as of 02/16/2012)
Fox In Socks is a really fun book to read out loud with children as it follows the annoying, tongue-twisting Fox who pesters Mr Knox with his wordtabulousness. The tongue-twisters get increasingly complex and ridiculous, but increasingly funny to the reader and more and more annoying to Mr Knox. This is one of Dr Seuss's most delightful books.
I Had Trouble In Getting To Solla Sollew
Published in 1965
I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew
Amazon Price: $8.18 (as of 02/16/2012)
In this book Dr Seuss writes an Odessy-like tale about a youngster who attempts to escape his troubles by heading to the fairytale city of Solla Sollew, "where they never have troubles, at least very few". This wonderfully rhyming tale sees the storyteller taken advantage of by some people along the way and ultimately his journey is a waste of time and he goes back to confront his problems.

Published in 1974
There's a Wocket in My Pocket! (Dr. Seuss's Book of Ridiculous Rhymes)
Amazon Price: $1.69 (as of 02/16/2012)
This is an amusing Dr Seuss book that heavily features wordplay, one of Seuss's trademark styles. In Wocket In My Pocket a small boy describes the curious creatures that live in various places around his house. I particularly like the Nooth Grush in the toothbrush although it is a shame that the Vug under the rug has been removed from modern prints as it was deemed too scary!!!!!

A collection of Dr Seuss lenses
This collection features all the Dr Seuss book lenses and product pages that my enthusiasm for Dr Seuss's creations has driven me to create: Dr Seuss Lensography.I cannot remember when I had my first Dr Seuss book read to me by my parents as I was too young, but I can remember enjoying Green Eggs and Ham, The Sneetches, Hop On Pop and Horton Hatches The Egg over and over again as a young reader.
