2. Oh, The Places You’ll Go!This book shares a message important for one and all – that success in life is within us all. From soaring great heights and seeing great sights to being left in a lurch ‘on a prickle-ly perch’, Dr. Seuss talks about life’s ups and downs in his trademark style of humorous verse and illustrations, encouraging readers to find the success that lies within. A perfect gift for anyone starting a new phase in their life, this one is unarguably one of the best kids’ books. Available on: Amazon.in |

3. The Sneetches and Other StoriesThis is an excellent book that teaches simple morals and life lessons in a relatable, easy to understand and yet impactful manner. The first story teaches how pride and envy can make you unhappy if you let them control your life. The Sneetches learn the value of tolerance and that one should not judge the other based on appearances but rather love them for who they are on the inside. It teaches about the wrong in bullying and the value of fairness, being nice, being equitable in our everyday relationships. To be more accepting of others and our selves, we don’t have to change ourselves to “fit in” with other’s preconceived notions. There are two other children’s books titled ‘One World‘ and ‘Sorry, Best Friend‘ by Tulika Publishers, which also harp on the theme of world peace and harmony touchingly. Available on Amazon.in |

4. The LoraxDr. Seuss’ beloved story gives an important message of caring for the environment. It teaches kids to speak up and stand up for those who can’t. With a pertinent “Go Green” message, The Lorax allows young readers to experience the beauty of trees and the danger of taking our earth for granted, all in a story that is well-timed, relevant, playful, and hopeful. The book leaves us the message that even one small seed, or one small child, can make a big difference. A similar message is conveyed in the book ‘The Elephant in the Tree‘ by Katha Publishers, the leading publisher in India of storybooks for kids. It conveys the importance of trees to young minds and encourages them to plant more trees to save our planet. Available on Amazon.in |

10. Bartholomew and the OobleckFirst told way back in 1949, Bartholomew and the Oobleck easily qualifies as a Seuss classic. Its message about the importance of owning up to your mistakes and saying sorry–is as timeless now as it was then. Bartholomew Cubbins serves thanklessly as a pageboy to a headstrong king who decides he isn’t satisfied with mere sun, fog, rain, and snow. The king wants something else, uniquely his own, so he calls in his royal magicians. The magicians oblige and tell the king they can make “oobleck” fall from the sky, only nobody–not even the magicians–knows just what oobleck is. When everyone in the kingdom gets a taste of the uniquely green, gluey globs, all over creating a royal mess, the king (and the young reader) learns that the simplest words can have the biggest impact.
