TEN Dr. Seuss books, my 100th best books post. These wonderful books we all grew up with. I just had to do it. For the children in all of us!!
(1957)'And Sally and I
Did not know what to do.
So we had to shake hands
With Thing One and Thing Two.
We shook their two hands.
But our fish said, "No! No!
Those Things should not be
In this house! Make them go!'
(1958)"Oh-oh!" Sally said.
"Don't you talk to that cat.
That cat is a bad one,
That Cat in the Hat.
He plays lots of bad tricks.
Don't you let him come near.
You know what he did
the last time he was here."
(1960)'I would not, could not, in the rain.
Not in the dark. Not on a train.
Not in a car. Not in a tree.
I do not like them, Sam, you see.
Not in a house. Not in a box.
Not with a mouse. Not with a fox.
I will not eat them here or there.
I do not like them anywhere.'
(1960)'When I wish to make a wish
I wave my hand with a big swish swish.
Then I say,"I wish for fish!"
And I get fish right on my dish.
So...
if you wish to wish a wish,
you may swish for fish
with my Ish wish dish.'
(1963)'BIG J
little j
What begins with j?
Jerry Jordan's
jelly jar
and jam
begin that way.'
(1963)'HILL
WILL
Will went up hill.
WILL
HILL
STILL
Will is
up hill still.'
(1965)'When a fox is
in the bottle where
the tweetle beetles battle
with their paddles in a puddle on a
noddle-eating poodle
THIS is what they call...
...a tweetle beetle noddle poodle bottled
paddled muddled duddled fuddled wuddled
fox in socks, sir!'

(1970)
'He can go like a clock.
He can TICK
He can TOCK
He can go
like a hand
on a door... KNOCK KNOCK'
(1974)'That's the
kind of house
I live in.
There's a nick
in the sink
and a zamp
in the lamp
And they're
rather nice...I think'
(1974)'Up stairs!
Up ladders!
Up on stilts!
Great
day
for up
Mt. Dill-ma-dilts.
Green, eggs and ham is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteFond memories, when I was a teaching assistant, of the children at school asking me to read this again and again.
