Did you know that Dr. Seuss’ birthday is March 2nd? It’s also known as Read Across America Day in honor of his lasting impact. His books provide comforting memories for many, along with valuable, lasting life lessons. He valued helping children learn to read and his legacy lives on strong — especially for school-aged children.
Even with heavy rhymes, illustrative words, and somewhat silly stories, the messages found in Dr. Seuss’ books are timeless. Let’s take a look at 4 lessons taught from 4 of his most famous books.
try something new!
From the great “Green Eggs and Ham” the reader learns that taking a risk on green eggs and ham may actually be rewarding. Kids are hesitant to try new things — even as small as something like new food. But, taking risks — big and small — can allow for kids to grow, discover passions, and prove themselves wrong about things.
Being yourself is important and something to be celebrated
In “Happy Birthday to You!” Dr. Seuss reminds kids that there is no one like them and that is a beautiful thing. He writes “Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.” And who doesn’t deserve to be celebrated on their birthday?!
Keep reading and learning, to experience all life has to offer
“I Can Read With My Eyes Shut” encompasses the pure beauty of reading and learning — especially when it comes to young minds. The quote “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go” stands out in this book. It’s important for kids to understand the value of learning and how many doors it can open up. Starting to instill these values in kids at a young age is important for their future and Dr. Seuss makes this easy and enjoyable.
The world and your future is your own destiny
Lastly, “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” Is an insightful read for any age. There is a reason why this book is a popular college graduation gift. This inspirational tale encourages kids and adults, alike, that we have the brains, tools, and fortitude to move mountains if we want to. Our life is what we make of it and as a kid, the world is our playground.
Dr. Seuss masterfully delivers these messages to kids in formable years, which is why he is celebrated and praised many years after he has passed.
