The Sneetches and Other Stories

Hardcover

Grades K–4
Ages 5–9

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An iconic collection of original stories from Dr. Seuss that includes the official versions of “The Sneetches,” “The Zax,” “Too Many Daves,” and “What Was I Scared Of?”

Don’t miss the Netflix original special Dr. Seuss’s Sneetches!

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 on the beaches.

The original collection includes the only complete versions of the following entertaining and insightful tales:

“The Sneetches”: The Star-Belly Sneetches and the Plain-Belly Sneetches learn to overcome their differences.

“The Zax”: When a North-Going Zax encounters a South-Going Zax traveling in the opposite direction, will their refusal to budge keep them both from going anywhere?

“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.

In these four timeless stories, Dr. Seuss challenges the assumption that we need to look the same or behave the same to find common ground. Filled with Dr. Seuss’s signature rhymes and lively humor, this classic story collection is a must-have for readers of all ages, and is ideal for sparking discussions about tolerance, diversity, and acceptance.
