The Sneetches and Other Stories, Dr. Seuss, published in The first story in the collection tells of a group of yellow bird-like creatures called the Sneetches, some of whom have a green star on their bellies.

At the beginning of the story, Sneetches with stars discriminate against and shun those without. The treatment is instantly popular, but this upsets the original star-bellied Sneetches, as they are in danger of losing their special status.

McBean then tells them about his Star-Off machine, costing ten dollars, and the Sneetches who originally had stars happily pay the money to have them removed in order to remain special. However, McBean does not share the prejudices of the Sneetches, and allows the recently starred Sneetches through this machine as well.

Ultimately this escalates, with the Sneetches running from one machine to the next…. One of the greatest Dr. Seuss' stories! The Plain-Belly Sneetches Had none upon thars.

Seuss came up with this charming tale in , at the beginning of the decade where the civil rights were in a mass turmoil. Here, is the same concept eight years before just using stars in the bellies curiously enough, a couple of decades before, in our messy world, stars were used to make look people as different, just in that time, nobody would want to interchange stars.

In a world where bullying happens nearly upon birth, this is a story that should be required reading for all. With constant reminding, maybe kids will realize that there is no need to worry about having the hottest new trends. Hear that little one? And whether, or not, you have one upon yars ;.

Why 5 stars? Why rate a children's book? Because there is still prejudice in the world, that's why. If we got the world leaders together, and brainwashed them with this book, war would disappear. Segregation, discrimination, prejudice, sophistry, bias and artificial prominance would go away.

In his unique way, Theodore Giesel points out the folly of judging anybody by physical characteristics, or any other inaccurate method. Lessons learned from this book: Whether we have stars or not, no matter the color, race, language, gender, religion or orientation, we are all similar, with similar wants and needs.

In addition, we CAN all be taught. Sometimes, our best friends may come in a package that we may not accept unless we are open-minded enough to accept them. Even the strangest of bedfellows, in this book empty green trousers, have feelings, and great potential. If we fail to give up those afore-mentioned biases, we will relegate ourselves to an immobile state.

Graeme Rodaughan. Author 9 books followers. Sneetch Scandal! An enduring classic of a story that highlights that social division will be exploited for profit, and that social division will be promoted by the unscrupulous, because when people are focussed on their differences they can be endlessly exploited by evil people for fun and profit.

This remains an enduring classic precisely because people are vulnerable to being divided by those who desire to exploit them. People wedded to the idea of social division and exploitation, will hate the fundamental message of this book - that the cure for social division and its attendant hatred is indifference to differences, and a focus on the common humanity that unites us all.

Sadly, the message of the uniting nature of our common humanity is lost amongst the insane babble of the media matrix. Strongly Recommended: 5 'Sneetches are the Best,' stars.
