„Four ​funny easy-to-read stories all with subtly planted moral lessons.”--Publishers Weekly.

THE SNEETCHES
„Now, the Star-Belly Sneetches / Had bellies with stars. / The Plain-Belly Sneetches / Had none upon thars.” This collection of four of Dr. Seuss's most winning stories begins with that unforgettable tale of the unfortunate Sneetches, bamboozled by one Sylvester McMonkey McBean ("the Fix-it-up Chappie"), who teaches them that pointless prejudice can be costly.

THE ZAX
Following the Sneetches, a South-Going Zax and a North-Going Zax seem determined to butt heads on the prairie of Prax.

TOO MANY DAVES
Then there's the tongue-twisting story of Mrs. McCave--you know, the one who had 23 sons and named them all Dave. (She realizes that she'd be far less confused had she given them different names, like Marvin O'Gravel Balloon Face or Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate.)

Dr. Seuss: The Sneetches and Other Stories

Kicsit felemások a történetek, de mind csupa fontos dolgot akarnak tanítani. Szóval nem érdemel négynél kevesebb csillagot.

Dr. Seuss: The Sneetches and Other Stories

Rengeteg olyan Dr. Seuss mese és kötet van, amit szívesen lapozgatok, hisz kifejezetten kedvelem a szerző stílusát, kissé őrült történeteit, a nyelvtörőnek is beillő bolondos rímeket, de ez a kötet annyira nem nyerte el a tetszésemet.

Nem rossz, de ha most ismerkedik valaki Dr. Seuss munkásságával, akkor ne ezzel a kötettel kezdje, hisz ennél ezerszer jobb, izgalmasabb és tanulságosabb történetei is vannak. Persze itt is van humor, versbe szedett sztori, őrült illusztrációk meg az élet nagy tanulságai… Angolosoknak, rövid olvasmánynak, egy nagyon pihent napra azonban tökéletes választás ez a mini könyvecske, ami pár perc alatt is kiolvasható!

Dr. Seuss: The Sneetches and Other Stories

My favourite tale is the last one, „What was I scared of?”. It is hilariously creative that our hero meets a pair of empty pants in the woods… I was like „yes, and where does it lead?”. It is one of the most amazing stories I have read.
My 3-yr-old's fave is „Too Many Daves”. Here I think the names the mum could give to her sons could be funnier, but other than that, the lesson learnt is seussial again. If you didn't do something, there you are, you didn't – so think beforehand.
„The Sneetches” has an obvious lesson to be learnt: it is no good to look down on anyone as things may change. But there are some other, subtle hints. Money may seem to buy everything but it is only a temporary satisfaction, or there's a solution to everything, or you may be saved when you lose your money, or the smart people collect money on others' stupidity… I think the lessons' number is pretty endless.
I didn't like „The Zax” so much, it was too much like Aesop's goats, with almost the same ending. The world went on without the stubborn creatures.
Altogether an awesome book again.
