Dr. Seuss was a modern Shakespeare of children’s books.
He made up new and creative words.
He rhymed in ways that you wouldn’t think possible. (Wocket – pocket?)
He had an incredible knack for creating stories that taught values and lessons in a fun way.
And to top it all off, he drew humorous illustrations to go with his silly stories.
Amazing.
He wrote and illustrated over 40 books in his lifetime, some lesser known than others (like I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today! and Other Stories).
I thought I’d compile a complete list of Dr. Seuss books for you so that you can see for yourself the incredible genius of this talented man.
This list includes three books that were published after his death, some of which were created from his notes and sketches. (They are the last three in this list.)
I hope you get the opportunity to share as many of these Dr. Seuss books as you can with your children, because they are amazing!
