Review Of Dr. Seuss 'Book Are You My Monster'

My granny instilled my love of books and reading. Every night she would read me the same story before bed. A book that I still cherish, the little golden book version of Heidi. I believed I could be Heidi and my granny encourage my imagination, sewing me clothes like Heidi wore in the pages of my book. My imagination and love of reading grew and she encouraged it always. In her home, there were bookshelves and boxes filled with books and as soon as I learned how I began to read to her.

Like many parents, mine were supportive of my learning and development at an early age and as I grew, they read to me along with other learning techniques. My mother and father read various children 's books to me in their spare time; and after I had matured some had me read along as well. The books we read together consisted of fairy tale books and short stories such as The Turtle and the Hare. Reading together helped me learn a wider variety of words and inspired myself to pursue reading at an early age on my own. When I was around the age of four or five; my mother and father bought me the leapfrog read along toy as a birthday gift. The toy came with children’s books and a pen that was used to follow along as

When I was younger, I had many people that would read books to me. The first book I ever read was Boom Chika Boom. My Aunt Jennah was the main person who took care of me, while my mom was working at the Buffalo Hospital. They’re many pictures of me sitting on her lap while she would read me. My favorite books were If You Give a Mouse a Cookie or If You Give a Pig a Pancake.

As a young child in the years of first to second grade I quickly developed my love for reading. I was never a big fan of the outside world. I thought the world around me was boring and tearing everything/one apart, and thought the adventure inside a book was much more exciting. In my childhood home there was a large bookshelf full of different stories. Most days when getting home I would sit by the shelves in my small pink bean bag chair with numerous children books scattered around me. By endlessly trying and sometimes failing to read my children books such as, the infinite number of Dr. Seuss rhyming stories and Winnie-the-Pooh books I felt comforted by the happy feeling the characters within the stories gave me. The pictures within

My favorite books she would read were Dr. Seuss. Seuss’s books have many life lessons within them that I did not realize when I was younger. Don’t be selfish, share, be nice, were all things Dr. Seuss preached. If I had to choose my favorite Dr. Seuss book it would have to be “Oh, the places you’ll go!” In that book it just describes how there’s so many big places you can go and you just have to keep looking ahead and never turn back.

“Dr. Seuss was probably the best loved and certainly the best-selling children’s book writer of all times.” said New York Times Book Review. Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. His mother’s name was Henritta Seuss Geisel and she loved to read to him and his sister, Marnie. As a result, Ted got his love of reading and repartee from her. Ted’s father was also named Theodor Seuss Geisel. His father helped him become more involved with machines and he made weird gadgets in his shop. One gadget actually made arms more muscular.

Have you ever read a dr. seuss book? If so you may wonder where he got his ideas. Many people don't know about his personal life, know how he started writing, or even about green eggs and ham.

Some of the oldest and fondest memories I have from my childhood are those of my mother reading to me. Before I even began Kindergarten, I remember my mom reading stories to me from children’s books, or making up stories as she went along. I enjoyed listening to the stories and still remember some to this day. She also taught me how to write my name, count, and recite the alphabet. I loved the time I spent reading with my mom because she made it fun, so much so that I didn’t realize I was learning.

The article, “Memories of a Bedtime Book Club” by Dwight Garner, addresses many ideas that I relate to. For example, Garner states that “[t]hey occupy places in [his] family’s shared consciousness,” meaning that the books of his childhood stick with him everywhere and are memories just as important as any other. This is comparable to my many experiences of reminiscing about my mother reading to me when I was younger. Not to mentions, Garner also claims that “[t]hey're evocative of some of life’s best things”, describing that those simple short stories can remind us of the little things that suggest comfort and pleasure. I agree with this assertion because I can recall my younger self practically glowing with excitement as my mother selected a book

Dr. Seuss is a children’s book author. His most famous works are Cat In The Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. A pattern that people have noticed in his books is that they incorporate messages about the problems in the world. Books like the Lorax, the Butter Battle Book, The Star-Belly Sneetches, and Gertrude McFuzz. In fact, that’s what we’re going to be discussing today. This essay will be going into more depth on 3 books that cover the social issues of environmentalism or deforestation, racism, and wanting to change yourself to fit other’s standards.

Growing up, both of my grandmothers was school teachers who enjoyed reading to me and my cousins whenever the opportunity arose. Many of my favorite memories as a child learning to read lead back to my favorite book my nana would always read to me, The Napping House by Audrey Wood. I would quote the book cover to cover, before actually learning to read, pretending that I was reading in the meantime. My mother also played an important role in my learning to read and write, she and my nana were always encouraging me to read book series like Junie B. Jones, The Little House on the Prairie, The Boxcar Children, Nancy Drew,

Ever since I can remember, my beautiful mother, Anne, would read to me. She would set me in her lap in our big green rocking chair and read Winnie the Pooh, and Dr. Seuss but my all time favorite was Dr. Seuss's "Green Eggs & Ham". No matter where we were or who we were with, she would read that book to me. She read it so many times I'm sure she could recite it word for word. After a few hundred times of her reading it to me, I had all 62 pages memorized. I could even tell when she skipped a page, which I don't blame her, its a long book. At the time, I had no idea simply reading this book would affect my literacy. But by 3, I had 50 words memorized just from the book. As I grew, so did my love for books. I often read in my preschool with

As a six-month-old baby books had opened up a whole entire new world of experience for me. My inspiration to learn how to read and write was encouraged by my Mother and Grandmother. This is because they read out loud to me before bed occasionally and gave me the best time of my life by introducing me to a library. By two years of age I developed speech and other communication skills. This helped me understand and develop a favorite book, “PJ Funny Bunny,” and I would stare at the pages pretending I was reading them. I would continually pretend to read with other Dr. Seuss books, Smurf pop-up books (I imagined I was a part of these for hours), sniff & scratches, and sensory books. I had just begun

As Dr. Seuss whimsically wrote, “Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you”. I am a unique individual whose overall condition consists of a hodge-podge of quirks, emotions, and values.

When I was young I would drown my floor with Dr. Seuss and books that gave excitement to me just by holding them. I loved looking at the pictures, the endless rhymes, and magical color schemes because I had no other outlet than books to reach in a grab my attention the way they could. That’s why picture books are almost a necessity to a child’s development. The type of
