The book “The Art of Dr. Seuss” has a lot of his unpublished drawings. My favourite is “A Plethora of Cats”- just a canvas covered with cats. His wife said he had added cats to it for years, and never considered it to be “Finished”.

Dr. Seuss never lived in Canada (he was born in Massachusetts, went to school in New Hampshire & England, lived on the American east coast, and then moved to San Diego where he lived until his passing), so your son’s daycare teacher was either fibbing or mistaken.

My son’s daycare teacher a few years back was a Canada native who said that she grew up down the street from Dr. Seuss and that even though he wrote children’s books, he wasn’t too fond of children himself.

My mom used to always bring up the fact that as a young child I always brought a book to bed with me, never a teddy bear or baby doll, even when very young.

When we moved a few years ago, she was so excited to have found what was apparently my favorite bedtime companion, and share it with me again.

Corners gently worn, a gentle curl in the cover (imagine the book nestled between a young childs elbow under a pillow)…

The Cat in the Hat Comes Back…

Pretty neat I thought… then I opened up the cover and there on the front page, bottom right corner… signed, Theodor Suess Geisel…

Even neater right? While I have not confirmed the authenticity of this autograph… It’s still pretty rad.

Now the book has been put away for safe keeping… Maybe one of these days I’ll get it checked out…

When I was a child. Going to my school’s library was like a treasure hunt. I would search and search until I found a new Dr. Suess book. I never knew what I would find, because they were located by titles, but every find was gold to a child like me.

I read Dr. Suess to my 3 year old every night. I still love the books and they bring back memories of my childhood.

Em: I still read all my Dr. Seuss books, too, and I’m 56. As someone who was always very small, “Horton Hears A Who” was very important to me as a child, and I still love it!

Yay! 8/10.

I had the pleasure a while back of meeting Mr. Gary Owens at a party. He told us a lot of stories about Dr. Seuss. Sadly, the only one I can recall is that Seuss is actually pronounced “soy-s”, but since everyone was already pronouncing it as “soo-s”, he left it at that.

I loved Seuss (which he pronounced to rhyme with “Joyce”) when I was a kid and loved him again when his books helped my daughter learn to read at the age of 2! It is, however, ridiculous to assert that “The Butter Battle Book” had any part in ending the Cold War. That was purely Reagan’s policies! Plus, I tend to believe that whether you’re going to live as a free nation or under a communist dictatorship is a LITTLE more important than whether you like your bread butter-side up or butter-side down (I’m an up man, myself…)
