Material Possessions are Not the Key to Happiness
2) In How the Grinch Stole Christmas! the Whos discover the true meaning of Christmas. Your students will see that it’s never too late to do the right thing, no matter how much of a Grinch you have been! “Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!”

Equality
3) The Sneetches and Other Stories can be used as an introductory lesson in diversity for younger children. They will learn to take pride in being themselves. School-Age students will be able to use it to discuss discrimination and racism. “The day they decided that Sneetches are Sneetches.
And no kind of Sneetch is the best on the beaches.” |
Responsibility
4) The Lorax reminds children that it is important to take care of the world around us. Environmental accountability, greed, and overconsumption are topics that can be explored through this text. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It's not.” |
