Creative activity: Since Dr. Seuss rhymes often, help the students identify the different rhymes in the story and explain what a rhyme is. Also, Dr. Seuss uses figures of speech in the story like "you'll move mountains". Have the kids understand the difference between literal and figurative language. The teacher could make two columns on the board and pass out cards with different sayings on them, some literal and some figurative. Have the kids figure out what cards go in which column.
