Amazon.com Review
"When I was quite young and quite small for my size, I met an old man in the Desert of Drize." The old man looks like a cross between a cartoon granddad and a swami; he sits on top of a cactus, and tells his young listener that the best way to get over any sadness is to imagine all the ways you could be worse off. "Suppose, just suppose, you were poor Herbie Hart, who has taken his Throm-dim-bu-lator apart!" This has a more hurried, formulaic feel than the best Seuss, and it seems to showcase a less acute grasp of child psychology than usual. (Does it really make a child feel better to think of poor Harry Haddow, who, "try as he will, can't make a shadow," or Gucky Gown, "who lives by himself ninety miles out of town"?) But the illustrations alone make this morality tale a minor classic. (Ages 4 to 8) --Richard Farr

 sent this- not a card or flowers October 9, 2008
This book is ideal for the person you know who is feeling down either because of depression or a serious illness. It will lift their spirits and lighten their heart.
 A lesser known Dr. Suess book for good reason July 28, 2008
If you receive this book as a gift you might as well read it but there's no reason to add it to your bedtime reading rotation if you've already stocked some of the more popular Dr. Suess titles, such as:
Green Eggs & Ham
The Cat in the Hat
Horton Hears a Who
This book is mind-numbingly repetitive and not in a lyrical, pleasing way. This concept is much harder to grasp than what you'll find in most Dr. Suess books. Job satisfaction isn't an problem for my 5-year old and 4-year old.
Overall, these issues don't make this book bad, I just don't find it measures up to other Dr. Suess classics.
 Great book for remembering how lucky we all are!!! June 9, 2008
I love this Dr. Seuss book. It is too easy these days to focus on the negative things in life. I bought this book for my 10 year old son and 12 year old daughter to remind them, in a humorous way, that even though everything in life may not be exactly the way they want it to be, they still have a pretty terrific life.
Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky YouAre? March 6, 2008
I purchased this book for my daughter (a 33 year old 1st grade teacher) for her birthday. It was her favorite book as a child. She read it to her classroom and the kids loved it. No one in her class had heard of this book before. Even the school librarian had not heard of it. It is a great book and of course the illustrations were wonderful. I think the best part of the book is the true meaning of the book that no matter how bad you think you have it or how bad things are, there's always someone worse off than you are. It teaches positive thinking for all ages. My grandsons loved the book too so I know it will end up as worn out as the original book I purchased 30 years ago.
