SynopsisEmbrace diversity with Dr. Seuss and the Sneetches in this collection of stories about acceptance The Sneetches got really quite smart on that day, The day they decided that Sneetches are Sneetches And no kind of Sneetch is the best of the beaches. The story of the Star-Belly Sneetches and their starless friends is a perfect guide for kids growing up in today's multicultural world. This classic is joined by equally entertaining tales: "The Zax," a humorous take on the art of compromise; "Too Many Daves," which shows kids that sometimes standing out is better than blending in; and "What Was I Scared Of?," which demonstrates how empathy can transform a stranger into a friend. In these four energetic stories, Dr. Seuss challenges the idea that we have to look the same or be the same to find common ground. Full of Dr. Seuss's signature rhymes and lively humor, this story collection is a must-have for any reader, young or old.

"Too Many Daves" A mother who names all twenty-three of her sons "Dave" learns too late that a little individuality is a good thing! "What Was I Scared Of?" This delightfully silly story about a spooky pair of empty green pants delivers an important message about fear and tolerance.

Four cute stories, but the last one "What was I Scared of," is by far, one of my favorite stories ever!
I recently learned that the author was originally very racist & used to draw political cartoons. At some point in his life he had a change of heart. That is when he became Dr. Suess & set out to teach children how to end the cycle of bigotry. "Sneeches" is a simplified straightforward example of this, but my favorite by far, is the last of the four "What Was I Scared of." It's not as well known, as many of his other stories and its really a shame. It I think it's a great lesson that I wish more adults could learn. Everytime I get to the end, I have a hard time saying the words because I get choked up. I have bought many copies to give as gifts.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great book for children. Correctly talks about everyone being the same.

Perfect
I read this as a child. I am 66 Y/O. The relevency of this story demands rereading and reprinting NOW! The memory of the moral came to mind recently. Another book about inclusion that children today need to read is, "The Hundred Dresses" by Eleanor Estes.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
