These funny but thought-provoking picture books are ideal for independent readers or reading aloud. Dr. Seuss addresses life’s ups and downs with humorous verse and whimsical illustrations. Dr. Seuss’s beloved story teaches kids to treat the planet with kindness. Just what the doctor ordered for new retirees, old souls, and kids at heart. The perfect celebration of the person you were born to be. A tiny speck of dust contains an entire miniature world--Who-ville. Like mistletoe, candy canes, and caroling, the Grinch is a mainstay of the holidays.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

One of the titles for the younger crowd in the Beginners Books series, My Book About Me has an unusual interactive twist--you make it up as you go along. On each page there's something new to complete, from "I weigh ___ pounds" to "My teeth. I counted them. I have ___ up top. I have ___ downstairs." It's a simple idea, but with a surprising amount of educational value--getting children to name their home country, to recognize and draw in the color of their own eyes, learn their telephone number and address, to name favorite clothes, foods, and colors, and more. Finally, there's a two-page spread where each owner of the book can write his or her own story. Illustrator Roy McKie's style is halfway between the P.D. Eastman of Are You My Mother and the mainstream Seuss of Cat in the Hat and Thidwick: The Big-Hearted Moose. (Ages 4 to 8) --Richard Farr

I was very happy to be able to find this book, and at a great price.
My Book About Me, holds a special place in my heart. I had this book as a child, and thoroughly enjoyed filling it out. It became even more special once I grew older, and could look back at how I saw the world when I was a kid.
The book is the same as it was when I had it (so many classic favs have "upgraded" their layout, and I find that incredibly disappointing. When you look for an old fav; you want to find exactly what you so fondly remember!) So it was a must-buy Christmas present, for my 7yr old daughter. I cannot wait for her to open this book; and I'm even more excited to help her fill it all out!
Great present for any kid who can read and write (with or without help), and likes to fill out their "favorites". It helps children explore and think about the world they live in, improve writing skills, and is the perfect keepsake item.
I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars About to purchase my FOURTH... for our FIRST granddaughter!
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2013

4/2017 Update: What a WONDERFUL keepsake this will be for our grandchildren! We LOVE Dr. Seuss in our home, where I'd babysat our three grandsons, prior to my daughter-in-law becoming a stay-at-home-mom (talk about a repeat of "empty next syndrome"!) When the oldest one began all day kindergarten years ago, we'd purchased this book and - seeing how much he enjoyed working on it - went ahead and purchased additional copies for the other two boys to have at the ready when it came their turn to start kindergarten. Well, I'm now coming back for a fourth copy of this terrific little book!

We've collected every single Seuss children's book, but there are three books in particular that we've now ordered four copies of, because they can be personalized by the grandkids to make them truly "their own"! This one, along with "I Can Write! A Book by Me, Myself" and "I Can Draw It Myself, By Me, Myselff" will become treasured keepsakes, little "snapshots" of where they were developmentally that they can look back on one day with a smile.

While the other two are terrific as well, this one is definitely our favorite. SIXTY pages just BRIMMING with fun facts your child fills in about him/herself, and be able to author his/her own little autobiography! This is somewhat along the lines of a baby book you'd receive as a baby shower gift, with pages where your child can trace his hand and foot, etc, but there's oh so much more in the way of fun facts for him/her to fill in to help them remember "where their head was at" at that age, with a little help from Dr. Seuss and many bright, colorful illustrations! Can't recommend this book highly enough!

We've thoroughly enjoyed being able to so closely participate in and observe our grandkids' growth and development, and finding new ways to encourage both. These books have been fun tools to use toward that end. We truly treasure our little guys - we'd take a dozen more gladly!
