How the Grinch Stole Christmas
"Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store."
"Maybe Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more!"
Green Eggs and Ham
I would not like them here or there.
I would not like them anywhere.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
I do not like them Sam I Am.
The Lorax
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better. It’s not.
Oh, the Places You'll Go!
I'm sorry to say so
But, sadly it's true
That bang-ups and hang-ups
Can happen to you.
Let’s be sure when we step.
Step with care and great tact
And remember that Life’s a great balancing act.
Horton Hears a Who!
- A person’s a person, no matter how small.
Horton Hatches the Egg
I meant what I said,
and I said what I meant
An elephant's faithful,
One hundred percent.
The Cat in the Hat
We looked! Then we saw him
Step in on the mat!
We looked! And we saw him!
The Cat in the Hat!
