Favorite Dr. Seuss Books
Below, I’ve featured just a handful of my favorite Dr. Seuss picture books that will help your preschoolers celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday.
You should be able to find them at your local library or bookstore. If you can’t find them locally, you can click each image cover to purchase them on Amazon.
Fox in Socks – This classic book features silly tongue twisters that will have young readers—and their parents—giggling with glee. When a fox in socks meets Knox in a box, hilarity ensues. Add chicks with bricks and blocks and clocks, and you’re sure to get your words twisted and lips locked!
Cat in the Hat – A dreary day turns into a wild romp when this beloved story introduces readers to the Cat in the Hat and his troublemaking friends, Thing 1 and Thing 2. A favorite among kids, parents and teachers, this story uses simple words and basic rhyme to encourage and delight beginning readers.
The Lorax – Dr. Seuss’s beloved story teaches kids to treat the planet with kindness and stand up and speak up for others. Experience the beauty of the Truffula Trees and the danger of taking our earth for granted in a story that is timely, playful, and hopeful.
