Seuss probably taught you how to be a better adult when you were just a kid, instilling ideas and concepts in your lil' noodle you might not even realize came straight from the Seuss-ography. But don't worry, we're here to refresh all the times that Dr.
Seuss made you a better adult because he totally did. Here's all the stuff he taught you. Green Eggs and Ham 's Sam-I-Am was decidedly not into trying the eponymous breakfast dish who could blame him? It took a long time, but when Sam-I-Am finally took a bite, he was all in. The Cat in the Hat is all about wrecking a home — thanks, Thing One and Thing Two — but cleaning it up just in the nick of time. Although it's probably not the best idea to hold off on your cleaning until the last minute, it's important to keep things neat when you can.
Yup, The Cat in the Hat is about stranger danger. Although it may seem fun to let a big cat into your house, maybe think twice. That's just common sense for all ages.
The Lorax reminds us that the environment needs to be taken care of — especially when dudes like The Once-ler come into town and decide to cut down all our trees — and the perils of overconsumption. Heady stuff for the little ones! Even The Lorax ends on an upbeat note, with a message about the power of caring and trying again in this case, planting new Truffula trees , but the lesson is universal.
Even when things look really bad and utterly unmanageable, hard work can still breed big hope. The Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins is about a boy and his magically growing hat collection.

As your baby grows, she will continue to appreciate the rhythm and sounds of the words in the Dr Seuss stories. From about the age of two years, children move from simply loving the way the Dr Seuss stories sound to understanding the stories themselves and the humour they contain. Your child will still love to hear you read his favourite Dr Seuss books and will appreciate them on a new level, reciting the rhymes and giggling over the illustrations.
At this stage, phonological awareness is still developing and you can use the Dr Seuss books to help this along by playing games with the words. At this age, some parents make the mistake of trying to teach their child to read. The main reason is that parents tend to get stressed about teaching reading and the child picks up on this and becomes anxious too.
The really exciting thing is that, if your child has been read to often from an early age and if those reading sessions have been fun and exciting, he will learn to read naturally and easily without much at all in the way or formal teaching. I know this might be hard to believe but its true!
