“One Fish Two Fish” was always a favorite in our house. My sister would quiz Dad at bedtime holding the book on her lap and see if he could recite the whole thing by heart. Many Dr. Seuss books were bedtime staples. I can’t wait to share some of my favorites with my own children.

Ah yes, Fox in Socks…the Tweetle Beetle Battles were a big hit in our house! :)

Seuss wrote the Grinch in response to all the commercialization of Christmas. He saw himself as the Grinch. His license plate even read “Grinch”.

My history professor uses The Sneetches to explain the theory of conspicuous consumption as well as issues with diversity.

My personal favorite is McElligot’s Pool, and practically no one knows about that one, though there is an homage to it at Universal Studios’ Islands of Adventure! I still know almost the entire book by heart. :)

Almost no one ever knows about the butter battle book, but it’s probably my favorite honestly.

Oh! The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins! I remember that story…It was in one of those huge books with like 10 Seuss stories in it that I had when I was a kid. I wish I knew what happened to that book; I have a bad feeling it was sold or thrown out when we moved. Oh well. My dad and I are going to clean out the garage sometime this summer, maybe I’ll find it then.
