Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
I adored Dr. Seuss when I was a child. And you know what, I still do!
There is such philosophical meaning in each of his books.
While his rhyming prose, quirky characters, and colorful illustration appeal to all ages, it wasn't until I became an adult that I truly appreciated the life messages ingrained in his work.
Dr. Seuss, or Theodor Seuss Geise, published 46 children's books. You'll notice that he is careful not to start his poignant stories about moral issues. Stating that children can see "a moral coming a mile away," he opted instead to integrate life issues.
It truly amazes me that his books have stood the test of time. Through all of the technological advances and millions of children's stories published since, the Dr. Seuss collection remains a scholarly favorite. In my mind, his vibrant imagination is unparalleled.
It is hard to pick my favorite Dr. Seuss book and I think it has changed, as I have matured.
But, if I did have to choose one, it would be Oh the Places You'll Go!
I've told you my favorite book, although hard to choose,
Now tell me yours, what can you lose?
