I'm a huge fan of Dr. Seuss, and I used to read his books to my son every night when he was young, using different voices and speeding up and slowing down for all the fun rhymes and alliterations. He's so much fun to read and he is meant to be read aloud. Now that my son is almost 12, he's not interested in hearing my interpretations of the works of Seuss anymore, but I've got a plan. I now own an ice cream company, and we're starting to open shops, and this summer I am going to have reading mornings and I'll start reading Dr. Seuss to little kids again. My favorites are probably the Horton stories - "A person's a person no matter how small," and "I meant what I said and I said what I meant, an Elephant's faithful one hundred percent."

BTW, one of the best Suess readings in history was Jesse Jackson reciting Green Eggs and Ham on Saturday Night Live years ago. It was probably one of the top 5 greatest SNL moments. I'll never forget it.

Dr. Seuss said, "What good is a statue if you can't climb on it?" The Dr. Seuss Memorial Park in Springfield, MA is a beautiful demonstration of this sentiment. It's behind the town library. Visit it sometime.

BTW, I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam I Am. It just had to be said!

Seuss was a genius. I encourage anyone who has not viewed his political cartoons to do so. He had a rather dark take on his cartoons. They're simply brilliant.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not. --Dr. Seuss, The Lorax

The first lesson comes right from Geisel's pen name. While growing up, his father always hoped he would earn a doctorate and become a professor. full view : bit.ly/gox2VN

But Theodore learned other things along the way at the Northwood Zoo where his father was the zoo keeper. This explains a lot.
