The Sneetches

"The Sneetches got really quite smart on that day,
The day they decided that Sneetches are Sneetches.
And no kind of Sneetch is the best of the beaches."

This story, often read published within The Sneetches and Other Stories, is the 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.

Here Dr. Seuss once again challenges the idea that individualism must be rejected to find common ground. Sneetches and Other Stories is Seuss at his best, with wacky illustrations and tongue-twisting rhymes like only he can.
