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 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 :)

Yeah, THAT Tikki Tikki Tembo! I adored that book. Mom must have been soooo sick of it.

Star-bellied (and un-Star-bellied) Sneetches and Horton Hatches an Elephant were two we had on tape, which probably was a good thing...that and the pants with nobody inside 'em.

Also had Green Eggs and Ham memorized at one point. I could say the whole thing all the way through.

Sigh...probably used up brain cells very early in life. It would explain a lot!

By the way...speaking of odd movies and Dr. Suess, have you ever seen "The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T."?

Matthew LOVES Encyclopedia Brown! I like this one, but haven't read it. I just like it because they are holding a pair of sneakers just like mine!
