I never had Dr Seuss books as a child, perhaps they weren’t as popular in the UK then…? Who knows, but I think if I had come across them in the library, I would have read and loved them.

As it is, I’ve only recently had the chance to read his books – and how good are they? I have to admit, I don’t really like the live-action film versions (Cat in the Hat / The Grinch) – but the cartoons aren’t bad, like The Lorax. 

But, it’s the books themselves that are great – if you enjoy your Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll nonsense rhyming, then Dr Seuss would be right up your street.

And if you’re a little bookworm like me, wouldn’t you like this picture on your wall? 🙂
