I don’t rhyme very well but I’ll try it just this one time, to honor one of the best children authors of all time. So please sit back and relax and start taking some notes of some of my all time favorite Dr. Seuss quotes.
“Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!”
― Dr. Seuss
“Look at me!Look at me!
Look at me NOW!
It is fun to have fun
But you have to know how.”
― Dr. Seuss, The Cat in the Hat (Deluxe Edition)
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
― Dr. Seuss, The Lorax
“Think and wonder, wonder and think.”― Dr. Seuss
“Oh the places you’ll go! There is fun to be done! There are points to be scored. There are games to be won. And the magical things you can do with that ball will make you the winning-est winner of all.”― Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
“I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”― Dr. Seuss
“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.”
― Dr. Seuss
So these are some of my favorite Dr. Seuss quotes, which one of these quotes has got your vote? Or maybe you would like to share one of your favorite Dr. Seuss quotes, and if you do I’ll be sure to put it in my handy dandy tote that carries all my notes, filled with all my favorite Dr. Seuss quotes.
I’ll stop now with my rhyming game, because by now I’m sure you’re thinking I’m quite lame, but keep in mind I gave it a shot and a rhyming author I obviously am not!
“You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.”
What better way to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday than reading to a child? On the evening of March 2nd (Dr. Seuss’s birthday), Random House and the National Education Association (NEA) urge you to participate in the second annual Read Across America and read to a child

I love Doctor Suess and read his books to all my kids. I think this was a brilliant use of his rymes very creative. And the pictures you used were perfect. I will have to see if I can come up with one but I haven’t read any new books for [*****] years:-) I use to own a set but I think one of the kids took them.
bichonpawz says:
I LOVE these Jen! Dr. Seuss is a highlight of everyone’s childhood! I can’t believe I forgot it was Dr. Seuss day…but at least I wasn’t alone…Ann forgot too!! Have a great weekend! I positively adore these pics of the boys!!
Elizabeth says:
I just watched Horton Hears a Who the other day and I love the quote “a person’s a person, no matter how small.”
Daisy says:
We love Dr Seuss. Our favourite book is ‘Horton hatches an Egg’. SHE can practically recite it after reading it to countless children.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & roxy
SUGAR: Golden Woofs says:
Woof! Woof! They are very CUTE! My mom got lots of Seuss books. Happy Weekend. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
caren gittleman says:
those are some of our faves too…….did you see Cody as Cat In The Hat?
emma says:
We love Dr. Seuss but or some reason, mom says the only quotes that stick in her mind are stupid ones from Green Eggs and Ham. Whatever, mom! How about my fav, Go, Dog, Go???
Jodi says:
I do think Miss Jen, that you sell yourself short
And this Dr. Seuss game you should not abort
But if it must end and I know that it will
you’ve left us some awfully big shoes to fill.
Sue at Talking Dogs says:
Delightful! Your third one is one of my all time favorite quotes by anyone
(And I think you’re a poet and didn’t know it!)
Dee & Murphy says:
I’m reading these aloud to my Labs. What a wonderful way to start the day. Thank you!
Vicki says:
Lol – well done Jen!
Gizmo (@GizmoGeodog) says:
My favorite is the “ball” quote…balls can be magical toys indeed…
I think this would describe Gizmo the best:
“Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!”
Eva or sometimes Priscilla says:
What a happy post! We love Dr. Seuss too! The boys’ pictures are priceless.
Dawn says:
Very creative!!! I never would have thought to put dogs and Dr. Seuss together.
Long Life Cats and Dogs says:
I love them all and you chose such great photographs to go with each one.
Max's Mom says:
“Think and wonder, wonder and think.” What stunning photos and creativity too…love it!!! You’re really clever!!
Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning says:
Dr. Seuss was such a clever guy – he appeals to big peeps and little ones too – and hey, we can see the newfs like him too.
Woos – Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
jan says:
A lot of people think what Dr. Seuss wrote was easy until they actually try to do it. We are big fans.
Nichole says:
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this post!
Pamela | Something Wagging This Way Comes says:
You and Pup Fan have certainly done well by the good doctor.
I don’t have a favorite quote per se. But I loved the animated special, Halloween is Grinch Night, when the little boy in the story went outside to use the euphemism.
houndstooth says:
I love Dr. Suess, and I wanted to do a post about him today, but I got distracted and the brain cells aren’t firing at their highest level. *sigh*
My favorite Dr. Seuss quote is “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened!”

Jen K says:
Those are some great photos! Especially the second-last one – so cute!
Taryn says:
As a very young child, I had A Fish Out of Water memorized…So I just googled it and surprised the heck out of myself. It was not by Dr.Seuss but by his wife based on a short story he wrote. A life time of thinking it was a Dr.Seuss was just shattered
Pup Fan says:
I am a huge Dr. Seuss fan – loving these quotes! (The photos are the perfect extra touch!)
