What are your favorite ones?

Hm...well, I don't have any Doctor Seuss now, but we really enjoyed those - I like the Bartholomew Cubbins ones...the 5000 hats and the one about Ooblek. If I have it right. ;-)

I mostly have lesser known ones...one about a baby bunny asking his mother what would happen if he got lost in various places - Mom used to read that to me and I'd never part with it. And Tikki Tikki Tembo. I had that one memorized. ;-) I think I also have some Encylopedia Brown books and some Edward Eager - loved Edward Eager books.

I like those, and also To Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street, McElligot's Pond, If I Ran the Zoo, If I Ran the Circus, Scrambled Eggs Super, Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose, the Sneetches story, and the two Horton books. I guess I like those ones most because I love the way Seuss draws fantasy settings and animals. In some ways his creativity in that respect reminds me of Tolkien.

And Tikki Tikki Tembo. I had that one memorized.

Do you mean Rikki Tikki Tembo No Sa Rimbo Perri Berri Ruchi Pip Perri Pimbo (sp?!), who has fallen into the well? :)

I liked Encyclopedia Brown, too :)
