There is one thing Command Sgt. Maj. Gerry Wykoff is thankful for, and that is Dr. Seuss never wrote an Army Field Manual.

He did write & illustrate enough war-time cartoons to eventually be made into a book called "Dr. Seuss Goes to War", though.

Seuss is my favorite to read to my kids. We bought the series. TWICE. First one came with a carry tote...the 2nd did also, but in addition a cheap plastic set of bookends long since gone, but the books are special around here. My 2nd grader is learning to read with them...

incidentally another good series is: Spirit Press. A series of Biblical stories for children.

Suess was just another liberal fool. He said there was no meaningful difference between the U.S. and the USSR. What an ass****. Of course, beloved by liberals.

With “Green Eggs and Ham,” he won a $50 wager when he proved he could write a book with only 50 words.

I read 'Green Eggs & Ham' to my 15 month old grand daughter the first time on Sunday. She is, too put it mildly, a very active kid but she she will always go for reading a book which until now had been the child proof nuke grad, slobber resistant non destructible variety.

This was her first book to be printed on regular paper. She was fascinated by the pictures in the book. She so reminded me of her mother 30 years ago doing the same thing.

Doc Seuss is fun to read to kids. I don't know why they are, but they work. Anything you can do to get kids to love books is a good thing.
