The perfect celebration of the person you were born to be. A tiny speck of dust contains an entire miniature world--Who-ville.

I love everything about Dr. Seuss! I purchased this book for my Grandson’s first Birthday. Granted the title warrants the purchase this book isn’t meant for babies or young toddlers. The story is too long to keep their attention span. The pictures are full of color but not enough for them to want to move on. My personal reasons doesn’t justify anything less than a 5 star. I’m happy my Grandson will enjoy this once he turns older. The story is great & I do recommend but keep the age in mind.

A lovely read. Encourages one to be oneself. "Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one in the world that is youer than you. " Inculcates self-love which is so important in a world which just keeps criticising others for something or the other. It also helps children respect each one for what they are.

El precio y la calidad me parecen adecuados, pero los colores se ven como apagados, al principio pensé que me habían mandado un ejemplar muy viejo, pero creo que simplemente así son los tonos, tiene muchisimo texto (lo compré para mi niño de 3 años), definitivamente es para niños mas grandes. Aún así me lo quede y espero en unos años se interese más por él.
