Seussville

Have you ever been to Seussville?
I must say, as someone “dedicated to children’s literature,” it was inevitable that I would eventually write about Dr. Seuss.
Best known for his “beginning reader” books, Seuss is a household name for children’s literature.
The Cat in the Hat (known as one of his most famous books), was written to help children learn to read. Before the wonderful tongue twisting books of Dr. Seuss, children were having a hard time learning how to read, finding the simple books too “boring.”
So much has changed in the world of children’s books, but Dr. Seuss is legend well deserving the title of “one of the greatest children’s writers of all time!”
More thoughts from Dr. Seuss:
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”
“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”

Hey, it looks like I've found a fellow Dr. Seuss fan. About the Cat in the Hat: did you know the hat was modelled after an editorial cartoon Dr. Seuss created in WWII? It's true. I have posted one of his editorial cartoons.
