Some of the Sneetches have bellies with stars, but the plain-bellied ones have none upon thars! But an unexpected visitor soon leads them to discover they’re not that different after all, in the first tale in this classic collection of stories.

(This ebook is optimised for Kindle tablets and the Kindle App. It is not suitable for e-Ink kindle devices, such as the PaperWhite. We recommend you download a sample to your device before purchase if in doubt.)

The Star-Bellied Sneetches have bellies with Stars, but the Plain-Bellied Sneetches don’t, and the two just can’t seem to get along. Rivalries rocket when Sylvester McMonkey McBean steps in to prey on their prejudices, but in the end we realise that prejudice is nothing more than a ridiculous waste of time. The first in a series of splendiferous Seussian stories.

As part of a major rebrand programme, HarperCollins is relaunching Dr. Seuss’s bestselling books, including such perennial favourites as The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and Fox in Socks. In response to consumer demand, the bright new cover designs incorporate much needed guidance on reading levels, with the standard paperbacks divided into three reading strands – Blue Back Books for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books for older, more fluent readers to enjoy. The Sneetches and Other Stories belongs to the Yellow Back Books range

Amazon.com Review

"Now, the Star-Belly Sneetches / Had bellies with stars. / The Plain-Belly Sneetches / Had none upon thars." This collection of four of Dr. Seuss's most winning stories begins with that unforgettable tale of the unfortunate Sneetches, bamboozled by one Sylvester McMonkey McBean ("the Fix-it-up Chappie"), who teaches them that pointless prejudice can be costly. Following the Sneetches, a South-Going Zax and a North-Going Zax seem determined to butt heads on the prairie of Prax. Then there's the tongue-twisting story of Mrs. McCave--you know, the one who had 23 sons and named them all Dave. (She realizes that she'd be far less confused had she given them different names, like Marvin O'Gravel Balloon Face or Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate.) A slightly spooky adventure involving a pair of haunted trousers--"What was I scared of?"--closes out the collection. Sneetches and Other Stories is Seuss at his best, with distinctively wacky illustrations and ingeniously weird prose. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

A wonderful tool to teach English as a foreign language

Reviewed in India on 22 January 2015

Dr Seuss books are timeless. Actually the adult reader has much to gain from these stories thinly veiled as addressed for children.
I read them as a 5-year-old and I read them now. They are a wonderful tool to teach English as a foreign language as the words are simple but the meanings are significant and sophisticated.

We love all the stories in this book : the Sneetches, the stubborn Zax, too many Daves and What was i scared of? Every story is brilliantly written. Short and funny. There are very few books i have actually laughed while reading. This is one of them.

Delightfully subversive...

These are wonderful stories for children, especially the Sneetches. They teach great morals, are fun and easy to read, and make for great bedtime stories. But as an adult, if you think about when Dr. Suess wrote these stories, during the lead up to the civil rights movement in America (the Sneetches was published in 1961, the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1967), they are remarkable in his attempts to influence society through children's literature. Dr. Suess himself was always very open about his push for social change through his books like the Lorax (environmentalism), the Sneetches (race relations), and Yertle the Turtle (class equality).

For those who don't know, the Sneetches is a story about the Sneetches with stars on their bellies, and those without. The star bellied sneetches won't talk to those without. When a stranger comes to town and offers to put stars on the bellies of those without for three dollars each, everything changes. As the original star bellied sneetches pay ten dollars each to remove their stars to remain different the two groups eventually realise they really aren't that different after all.

The Zax is a story about stubbornness and how sometimes it is better to give a little than to stand firmly in your place.

Too Many Daves is a cute and funny poem with no real meaning behind it (as far as I can tell).

What Was I Scared Of? is a bizarre story about a boy who is afraid of an empty pair of trousers he sees in the woods. Eventually he realises that they can be friends.

Every kid should grow up on Dr. Suess, and I recommend this collection whole heartedly, as the Sneetches alone make it worth the purchase.

No child should be without this book. It should be law. Come to that no adult should be without a copy. It made a great impression on me as a child in the Sixties. Its now over fifty years later and its magic is undimmed. The other two stores in this volume are also superb.

Well packaged, book protected during transit

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 March 2021

Verified Purchase

Book arrived well packaged and protected, great if you want to keep the book and pass it down the generations. The story of the Sneetches did not capture the imagination of my grandchildren as much as Yurtle the Turtle. However if you want to collect Dr Seuss, it's a must have. One of the questions here is what age was the book bought for.. It is suitable for toddler upwards, use your imagination when telling the story

Great book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 January 2020

Love this book cause it’s got that story about a pair of trousers walking around... at first they was acting all scary, then it turned out that the trousers were just as scared lol.
Plus a few other story’s... but the trouser one is the best imo, read it loads of times

Good for talking to kids about discrimination

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 August 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this story particularly to tell the story of the Sneetches and the moralistic values within it. This is a fantastic story to introduce discussions of discrimination in all forms and to talk about the unfairness of some Sneetches towards the other ones because of a perceived difference.

I thoroughly recommend this story as a great way to discuss issues with youger children.
