Then our mother came in
And she said to us two,
Did you have any fun?
Tell me. What did you do?
And Sally and I did not
know what to say.
Should we tell her
The things that went on
there that day?
Well... what would YOU do
If your mother asked you?
The Cat in the Hat
Look at me!
Look at me!
Look at me NOW!
It is fun to have fun
But you have
to know how.

Because Horton was faithful!
He sat and he sat!
My goodness! My gracious!

Its something brand new!
ITS AN ELEPHANT-BIRD!!

Do you like green eggs and ham?
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
I do not like green eggs and ham!
Would you like them here or there?
I would not like them here or there.
I would not like them anywhere.
I do so like green eggs and ham!
Thank you! Thank you,
Sam-I-am!

YERTLE THE TURTLE
Yertle the Turtle
Im Yertle the Turtle!
Oh, marvelous me!
For I am the ruler
of all that I see!
Your Majesty. Please
I dont like to complain.
But down here below,
we are feeling great pain.
HORTON HEARS A WHO!
Ill find it! cried Horton.
Ill find it or bust!
I SHALL find my friends
on my small speck of dust!
Weve GOT to make noises in greater amounts!
So, open your mouth, lad!
For every voice counts!
Horton Hears a Who!
THE LORAX
I am the Lorax.
I speak for the trees.
I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.
The Lorax
I meant no harm.
I most truly did not.
But I had to grow bigger.
So bigger I got.
OH, THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
Any direction you choose.
Youre on your own. And
you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy wholl
decide where to go.
Youll get mixed up,
of course, as you already know.
Youll get mixed up with
many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great
tact and remember that
Lifes A Great Balancing Act.
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and ¾ percent guaranteed.)
KID, YOULL MOVE
MOUNTAINS!
HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS!
The Grinch hated Christmas!
The whole Christmas season!
Now, please don't ask why.
No one quite knows the reason.
The Grinch
Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesnt come from a store.
Maybe Christmas
perhaps
means a little bit more!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
If we didnt have birthdays,
you wouldnt be you.
If youd never been born,
well then what would you do?
If youd never been born,
well then what would you be?
You might be a fish!
Or a toad in a tree!
You might be a doorknob!
Or three baked potatoes!
You might be a bag full of
hard green tomatoes.
Or worse than all that
Why, you might be a WASNT!
A Wasnt has no fun at all.
No, he doesnt.
A Wasnt just isnt. He just
isnt present. But you
You ARE YOU!
And, now isnt that pleasant!
