I love the Dr. Seuss books. I love the stories, the morals of the stories, the literary devices, the wonderful characters and the fun and frolic as well as the meanings and messages. When we were children, my mother would read them to us, and later, we would read them to ourselves. They are classics.
I did not know until well into my adulthood, that Dr Seuss (Theordor Seuss Geisel) http://www.seussville.com/#/author called Springfield, Ma. his home town. There is a Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden in his hometown of Springfield, Massachusetts. I have not been there, but I suspect it would be a wonderful place to visit.
I think Dr. Seuss is not just a children's author: I think he had messages about moral situations that all humans, adults as well as children, should pay attention.
I think we can learn a lot from The Cat in the Hat, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and Horton Hears a Who among others.
