Brilliant book for reading on birthday. Daughter wants it read every night now. Another brilliant Dr Seuss book.

I bought the book for my Granddaughter's 3rd BD. It's Dr. Seuss, so what's not to like? Firstly, when I opened up the book, the binding was so tight that I was afraid to open it too fast. It felt like it may snap. The pages are my real issue, though. Instead of being flat, crisp pages, all the pages have wavy bends in them, like columns perpendicular to the paper. As if the pages didn't dry flat. It's a good quality product that was made very cheaply. The binding and the pages are not made with the same quality or integrity that they were just a few years ago. Because it's Dr. Seuss I gave it 3-Stars but the book quality alone, I'd give 2-Stars. I don't understand some of the reviews on this book as some ppl say it's a small book, while others say it's a pop-up book. Mine is a very large, hardcover book with NO pop-ups. Confused as to why mine seems to be the only review regarding the pages not being flat & crisp.

It is classic Dr. Seuss. Full of silly and imaginative stories and images. It is charming in its own way, but at times can be long winded. The kids love it - they tend to love anything Dr. Seuss no matter how crazy or silly or long it is. Overall, the book clearly makes kids feel they are special and worth celebrating for exactly who they are. I personally prefer a message that says yes you have value and yes you are special, but you also have to make responsible choices.... to live a life of value, to help and serve others, and to make a difference for the better. The book does not talk about responsibility only the celebrating of their life, so parents will have to add that in on their own. So the book is too individual focused, but then again it is their one and only birthday a year.
