Dr Seuss

Sadly I never got the chance to read all of Dr Seuss's books, and these days I doubt I'd want to, but I do know I'll be building a library of Dr Seuss for the future. He passed away on this day in 1991. My favorite story is Fried Eggs and Ham.

Theodor Suess Geisel wrote 46 books, and sold over 200 million copies making him one of the most popular authors, but what is even more amazing is that he wrote and illustrated his books himself.

What I particularly love about his books is the very small number of words in each, which makes it really easy for little people to get into his stories, and gives them the confidence to complete a book, and I think this helps a lot of people with longer books as they get older.
