What the subject line says!

Also, a bonus: favorite Dr. Seuss passage/verse, if you can pick just one.

The Sneetches and The Lorax. Especially The Lorax because I had the animated movie when I was a kid.

The Butter Battle Book

is that the one where they fight over how to butter the bread? One side butters it on the top and the other side butters it on the bottom?

yes

the anon that asked the question:

Thank you!

Green Eggs and Ham has a place in my heart always because it's the first book I ever remember reading.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas, all the way. Followed by Bartholomew and the Oobleck.

Also: in The Cat and the Hat, there's a mention of "Dad's ten dollar shoes," and they're meant to be quite expensive. I remember that was how I first conceived of inflation and little me often used it as a point of comparison. I still use it as a benchmark sometimes, lol.

Definitely 'The Lorax'

favorite verse:
"I speak for the trees for the trees have no tongues"

Green Eggs and Ham is still the tops for me.

As for favorite passage, because I have the whole thing memorized:

I will not eat them in the rain.
I will not eat them on a train.
I could not, would not, on a boat.
I will not, will not, with a goat.
Not in the dark! Not in a tree!
Not in a car! You let me be!
I do not like them in a box.
I do not like them with a fox.
I will not eat them in a house.
I do not like them with a mouse.
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them ANYWHERE!

I do not like green eggs and ham!
I do not like them, Sam-I-am!

I always loved Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are? And The Sneetches.

I don't have a favorite passage that comes to mind, but one of the guys in my class who did a speech at my high school graduation did it as a Suess-inspired poem and it was great.

I love Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are. So very glad I don't have a borfin that schlumps, and that I get far more than two dooklas a day for mowing my lawn.

Hop on Pop.

It's one of the lesser known ones, but my mom used to read it to us whenever dad would be laying on the floor and then we'd hop all over him and it was more about the memories associated with it than the actual book.

Dad did not enjoy Hop on Pop.

The Lorax, because the illustrations were so pretty and bright (initially, anyway). My favorite quote is this one, "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."

I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew! A little known one that was my favorite as a kid.

I also liked The Great Butter Battle, The Lorax, and Scrambled Eggs Super. I liked seeing all the weird birds.

I don't have a favorite passage, but my favorite thing about them was the places. Like the weird architecture in some of the pictures. I liked how so many of them (including Solla Sollew and Scrambled Eggs Super) had someone traveling around and going through all these weird places.

I Had Trouble Getting to Solla Sollew is my favorite, too! My grandmother used to read it to us when we were kids.

My favorite passage:

But I've bought a big bat
I'm all ready you see!
Now my troubles are going
to have troubles with ME!

If I had to pick one favorite, probably The Lorax, because it's just kind of perfect, and its message is still sadly true. I also have a particular love for Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book, which is fun but also peaceful and comforting. My favorite passage, however, is from Happy Birthday to You:

If we didn’t have birthdays, you wouldn’t be you.
If you’d never been born, well then what would you do?
If you’d 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 WASN’T!
A Wasn’t has no fun at all. No, he doesn’t.
A Wasn’t just isn’t. He just isn’t present.
But you... You ARE YOU! And, now isn’t that pleasant!
Today you are you! That is truer than true!
There is no one alive who is you-er than you!

there's a wocket in my pocket

The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins.

Also, Bartholomew and the Oobleck.
