Description
Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!
Dr. Seuss’s joyous ode to individuality—has allowed readers to experience firsthand the thrill of celebrating a birthday as it is done in Katroo.
Awakened by the Birthday Bird, you (the reader) are swept out of town on a Smorgasbord’s back to begin a day and night of feasting and feting in such Seussian splendor that it will take 20 days to sweep up the mess! And while Random House can’t possibly compete with the folks in Katroo, we are making available a special Party Edition of the book—featuring its luscious full-color artwork printed on foil—to celebrate its 50th year in print. Consider it icing on the cake!
From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere! Dr. Seuss has many funny and inspirational quotes. Check out all Dr. Seuss Books.
Why our Child-Experts Love It
Happy Birthday To You Dr Seuss is perfect for any child′s birthday because it is a quirky way for any child to celebrate their birthday the way Dr Seuss does!
And to have a little extra fun, here some great Dr Seuss quotes.
- "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don′t matter, and those who matter don′t mind."
- "I meant what i said and i said what i meant. An elephant′s faithful one-hundred percent!"
- "A person′s a person, no matter how small."
- "Don′t cry because it′s over, smile because it happened."
- "You know you′re in love when you can′t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."
- "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living."
- "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You′re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who′ll decide where to go..."
- "Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple."
- "Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You."
- "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you′ll go."
- "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It′s not."
- “Think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!"
- "If things start happening, don′t worry, don′t stew, just go right along and you′ll start happening too."
- "How did it get so late so soon?"
- "If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good."
- "So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life′s A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed) Kid, you′ll move mountains."
- "And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ′till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn′t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn′t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more."
- "Oh the places you′ll go! There is fun to be done! There are points to be scored. There are games to be won. And the magical things you can do with that ball will make you the winning-est winner of all."
...and last but not least..."Be awesome! Be a book nut!"
Features and Skills
-
Reading with your child is a great way to spend quality time. Reading is an important activity to foster language skills and help your child learn new information. Long before a child can speak, an infant is learning the melodies and sounds of language. They are learning to understand words and pair pictures of objects with the name of the object. In addition to language skills, reading with your child helps improve their attention and builds curiosity. We want children of all ages to hear ‘adult, complex sentences’ so alternate reading a book as you typically would (reading all the written words) with the tips described below.
-
Infants – 2 year olds: point to the pictures and emphasize the name of each picture (one word at a time). Your intonation and melody plays an important role in your child’s attention to the book at this age.
-
2-3 year olds – read the story as written but ask questions along the way to ensure that your child understands what is happening in the story. This also allows them to be active “readers”
-
3-4 year olds – ask your child to tell you about the pictures/predict the story first. Then read the words on the page. This is a great way to help foster their story-telling abilities.
-
4-5 year olds – at this age children begin to gain interest in the letters of the alphabet and the sounds they make. Point to some of the words as you read to support this interest. At the end of a book, you and your child can make up a different ending OR try and add to the story.
-
5-6 year olds – Your child will begin to read at this age, generally by memorization of sight words. Keep a running list of the words that your child successfully recognizes. They will feel great pride as the list grows longer and longer.
