"I don't know how many people really appreciate how much of a genius Dr. Seuss was. Yes, he wrote books for children and I love them when I was 6 and 7. But when I pick one now and read it... WOW! He had some really deep ideas within his quirky rhymes! Dr. Seuss is a MUST for all people of all ages. If you can't appreciate his works, there is something really wrong with you. I can think of no other author who can cater to as wide an audience as Dr. Seuss."

" The Cat in the Hat returns - with Young Cat! A nice book about the joys of reading. What exactly should we do about owls on noses? "
— Jack, 2/19/2014" The illustrations in this book are very creative and would be fun for children who like bright colors and fun shapes. I do not think it is a very informative book because most of the stuff that is mentioned in it has nothing to do with reality. But sometimes that is what children need. They need to get away from reality and just have fun. I really loved the story and the creativity made it fun and captivating. I would recommend it to all children. "
— Shelby, 2/18/2014" Ava likes the story line and the silliness. Two thumbs up for the illustrations. "
— Anh, 2/10/2014" love to use this during Dr. Seuss week "
— Amanda, 2/4/2014" For kindergarten children, I would use this book in the classroom to introduce children to different colors, numbers, and rhyming words. "
— Cornelius, 1/11/2014" Nothing like a Dr. Seuss book to get the day started. This book promotes reading using the rhymes we've all come to love. This book is absolutely great and now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go read with my eyes shut. =D "
— Samantha, 1/10/2014" Is this where "The places you'll go" quote comes from? :) Another great book for little ones. "

— Sally, 12/16/2013" This is my most favorite book to read with my children, a real special book - fantastic!!!!!!!! "
— Sean, 12/8/2013" I Can Read With My Eyes Shut teaches children that it's always a good idea to keep your eyes open wide because you never know what you're going to see! And you don't want to miss the amazing things by closing your eyes. "
— Danielle, 12/7/2013" This is a great book to read aloud to young children. They love the rhymes and love the nonsense words. "
— Tracy, 11/8/2013" A great way to get children thinking about reading. "
— Lisa, 10/6/2013" This is a fun, fast past book that is encouraging children to read. It uses colors and fun themes to catch the audience. Its fun rhymes about reading and learning new things make reading sound fun and exciting. It is a great book for new readers! "

— Megan, 2/10/2013" Dr. Seuss is always fun and who better to promote reading and learning than Cat in the Hat. "
— Alicia, 9/17/2012" Kind of a counter-intuitive take on early readers: reading skillz as bragging rights. "
— Kaethe, 5/30/2012" This is a good book to show students reading can be fun, and the importance of reading. It has great illustrations my little ones like, even if it is wordy. I would use it for upper grades. "
— Emily, 4/5/2012" I had as much fun reading this to my 8th graders on Dr. Seuss's birthday as I had reading to my daughter when she was young. "
— Kay, 2/17/2012" This book makes me wonder. How do you read with your eyes shut if you can't see the words? "
— Alexandria, 9/10/2011" Wonderfully silly (as all Dr. Seuss is) but also has a great message about reading and learning. "
— Kelly, 8/19/2011" one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books "
— Casey, 6/18/2011" well...actually i used 2 b able 2 read green eggs and ham with my eyes shut.....cause i had memorized it!!!! i didnt even kno how 2 read then!!!! "
— Carli, 5/6/2011" This was one of the first books I read so many times when I was little I could recite the story without even opening the book. <br/>It holds a special place for me, because I would sit and read it to my youngest sister before bed. She even memorized some of the book before she could really read. "
— Jordan, 5/4/2011" This book has many rhyming words and tells why it's important to read. This is a good read for Pre-K students and beginning readers. "
— Winta, 4/14/2011" Cute book. Drops the rhythm in the middle but remains fun throughout. Great for young readers who are just learning to love reading. "
— Chezon, 3/21/2011" I can read with my eyes shut "
— Teri, 3/19/2011" My kindergartner read this to me last night and we had a ton of fun. It is typical Dr. Seuss silly, which makes reading fun! There were definitely some difficult words, but we worked through them together. "
— Fabulous, 2/22/2011" Oooh, this is deep. I think the point is that we should read with our eyes open and then we understand what we are reading more clearly and more in depth. "
— Kirei, 2/22/2011" I love Dr. Seuss as an author. He makes it fun to read. Especially this book because he talks about difficult it is to read with your shut. "
— Lynette, 1/24/2011" Dr. Seuss is a favorite among children for his rhyming style and imaginative stories. I enjoyed this book because it encourages children to read and may help give them confidence in their reading, but I prefer books with a plot and actual story. "
— Erica, 1/23/2011" I loved this book as it was hilarious! "
— Ally, 12/21/2010" it's not safe to do so. "
