Summary: Dr. Seuss Stocking Stuffer
Review: A nice little compilation of some Dr. Seuss quotes.

A nice but small stocking-stuffer for a small price. Some office gift exchanges limit gifts to mercifully small amounts and this is a good option for such an occaission.

Only negative is that it's a bit too short; but I must admit I'm still very glad I got it.

My favorite quote from Suess (which I would have missed entirely had it not been for this book): "I still climb Mount Everest just as often as I used to. I play polo just as often as I used to. But to walk down to the hardware store I find a little bit more difficult."

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: An embarrassment narrowly averted
Review: Based on other comments, I bought this as a "stocking stuffer" type gift to go along with something a little more substantial for my Mom's birthday. Am I ever glad I didn't ship it directly to her! This is little more than a hardcover pamphlet with disjointed, context-less snippets from Ted Geisel's wonderful books forced into highly unlikely, even bizarre categories invented by some editor years after the good Doctor's death (would you believe Dr. Seuss "On Equality and Justice," or "On Diversity" or "On Activism?"). I found myself recoiling from this obvious attempt to milk a few extra bucks out of the Dr. Seuss legacy on the cheap. Buy it for yourself if you were just going to toss that money in the gutter anyway, but don't embarrass yourself or the recipient by presenting this painfully obvious marketing project as a gift. Buy a book by Dr. Seuss instead.

Summary: Simple and wise, what the Dr. ordered
Review: Dr. Seuss was a man who could stretch out a set of simple words to delight and entertain his audience. But at the same time, his books also held a deeper meaning on important issues: The Lorax and the Butter Battle Book come to mind.

This slim tome is full of little pieces of wisdom, in Seuss' own words and with his drawings. It's Suess-Lite, but perfect for when you just need a smile, or a breather. Sometimes the simplicity lets us look at our selves better and to see the simple truths in living. It is a perfect little gift for the graduate, or just to keep on your desk for when you need a smile, and a short breather to put life in perspective.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best little book around
Review: I got this book and I am soooo happy that I did. Dr. Suess has a way with words that effect everyone from a small child to the oldest adult.... If you do not have this book you need it in your collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shining De(Light)
Review: I grew up with Dr Seuss and enjoyed the words and pictures . What a delight to discover as an adult that the words have even more meaning.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A little advice everyday to help you along life's way.
Review: I like to say that Dr. Seuss made a house call. But he sent a cat wearing a red and white stovepipe hat - and learning to read was never the same. As one who had to deal with dyslexia to a point, my teachers could never teach me how to read like the Cat in the Hat did! The best truths about life and learning along the way from Dr. Seuss' books are contained in this one small book! It is a book that I will need to get!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: yee-ha!
Review: I must admit I was a little taken aback by some of the quotes. The ageing of this book shows in some phrases such as "Got any Veras?" which, incidentally, is Brit-slang for an illegal drug. However, what I wasn't prepared for was Suess' rampant homosexuality coming to the fore with ... unforgettable quotes ... What worldly homophobic adult wouldn't be concerned about presenting this book to a youngster? I, for one, re-ordered several copies. Vive Le Revolution.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Witty and Refreshing
Review: I'm giving this book to 10 middle managers - while initially they'll probably think it's childish, once they read it they will understand why they received it. Seuss gives us all a simplified view of life and applying the basics to home and work. I also highly recommend everyone read "Open Your Mind, Open Your Life: A Little Book of Wisdom" by Taro Gold.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a super book
Review: Seuss-isms is a super book! It's funny, easy to read (it's a book of quotes from his many books) and entertaining. Anyone from 3 to 1,003 will enjoy this wonderful book (I'm 12, and I love this book,and so does my mom) Read it!!!!
