Dr. Seuss birthday has already passed, but I still wanted a review about him. Since this is my blog, I am going to write no matter it is already an outdated topic. We read everyday dammit!
I didn’t grow up in the United States, so Dr. Seuss wasn’t well-known to me until I moved to Texas. I knew about him for hearsay and some of his verses. Of course, we knew The Grinch in Mexico, but we didn’t bother to read the book. We could still enjoy the movie.
The first time I read a book, his books had ridiculous rhymes, but they were witty and had charm. They were for kids. The important factor was to make them read.
There are two books I read recently that I enjoyed. Well, one was not read recently – it was re-read. This was “Green Eggs and Ham.”
The reason why I like the book is that I am a picky eater. I kind of still am. I chose what I eat and always select something to be taken out. I felt the book was written about me…I don’t like green eggs. Gross!
Everyone knows about the book, so there is nothing I can add to it. It’s a fun book to read, simple and with a good morale at the end. You should try something new even though you don’t want to.
You may not want it in the dark.
You would not, will not try it with a fox.
You should not, could not try it with a mouse.
You will not do it in your house…
Until of course you, and you may love and do it every time.
