Dr. Seuss’s stories are read all over the world.<\/p>\n

A great amount of children that read Dr. Seuss books often have a favorite story for a reason. Senior Tori Godwin said, \u201cThe one I remember the most is Green<\/em> Eggs and Ham<\/em> because I thought the story was hilarious and I really wanted to try green eggs and ham.\u201d Dr. Seuss books provide children with an unusual theme to make learning a lesson fun and easy. He could indeed make a rhyme anytime.<\/p>\n

A variety of Dr. Seuss books have been made into motion pictures. Freshman, Cyann Comb said, \u201cI liked The Lorax<\/em> best of all because when they made it into a movie they brought it to life and it was cool!\u201d Sadly, some of Dr. Seuss books haven\u2019t been made into a movie yet, but the books are still fun to read. Junior Scarlet Torres remembers Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat,<\/em> and all the places you\u2019ll go<\/em>. With Cat in the Hat<\/em> on her mind, Torres said, \u201cI loved to watch the movie like every night.\u201d Dr. Seuss\u00a0 books provides us with a good time while practicing our reading skills. Godwin said, \u201cHow The<\/em> Grinch Stole Christmas. I love that story! It showed me at a young age that people can change, but it takes the right kind of person to change them. It showed me the value of family and friends, and really got me in the Christmas spirit. To this day, it is one of my favorite Dr. Seuss tales.\u201d Dr. Seuss books could teach someone a variety of lessons between trying something new to Christmas spirit.<\/p>\n

There are a multitude of reasons why people love Dr. Seuss books so much. Torres said, \u201cit made my imagination go crazy!\u201d Dr. Seuss has a multitude of books that can provide children entertainment. Whether it is any book between Green Eggs and Ham to Cat in the Hat,<\/em> Dr. Seuss could make an educational book that is fun to read. Even though the books are meant for children, they can also have an impact on lives. Godwin said, \u201cI believe each of them is infused with some sort of lesson. I think creativity is the big one because of how Seuss writes the stories. He embraces life outside the box and I personally believe that each story gives off that feeling and encourages kids to look beyond what they see to look at something completely new, but wonderful.\u201d It is truly an amazing thing when a book can impact a child’s life.<\/p>\n

Dr. Seuss has a variety of books that have been made into movies. For example, The Lorax, The Cat in the Hat, How the<\/em> Grinch Stole Christma<\/em>s and many others. Freshman Cyann Comb’s favorite movie is The Lorax.\u00a0 Photo by: Courtney Black<\/p><\/div>\n

Along with the wacky titles, settings, and words Dr. Seuss has extraordinary characters. Torres favorite character is \u201cCat in the hat because he is funny and crazy and is laid back no matter what happens and plus his best friends are thing 1 and thing 2!\u201d Whether one has four favorite characters or only two, the book is still memorable for children. Godwin said, \u201cSeuss always had great characters, so I can’t pick just one.\u201d Comb said that her favorite character is The Lorax.<\/p>\n

Sometimes when people read stories with someone then it makes memories. The memories in a person\u2019s mind can be of people, places, or any special event.\u00a0 Torres remembers that her brother and her mother read her the stories when she was little. Now in present day society, children tend to watch movies than read books. But there is still hope for authors when they have readers like Cyann Combs. Combs said, \u201cI read them at school and home.\u201d Not only do students read at school and home, some try to read whenever time allows, Godwin said, \u201cI read whenever and wherever I could. Whether it be outside, in my room, at school, or on my bed.\u201d<\/p>\n
