Dr. Seuss
January 30, 2013 | | 4 Comments
I first learned to read a long time ago, so I don’t remember that much. But I do remember reading Dr. Seuss a whole bunch. Some of the best stories I ever have read, my mom first told me while I lay down in bed. Nothing could replace the great Dr. Seuss. I loved reading his books more than sipping on juice. At first my mom had to read them to me. But then I saw how much fun reading can be. I started to read with such fervor, that she became an observer. I loved how his rhymes were written with such flow and it seemed there was nothing this man did not know. Each story was better than any show, from Go Dog Go to The Lorax, his stories had no drawbacks. I loved them all, like a girl loves her doll. No matter how many stories I read, my hunger for more could not be fed. From these stories so clever and fun, I learned how to read everything under the sun. Dr. Seuss that clever old man had a sneaky old plan. He made learning to read so easy, by creating rhymes which were cheesy.
Now we must all acknowledge, without Dr. Seuss we could not go to college. By teaching us to read he helped us succeed. So throw Seinbeck on the deck and feed Dickens to your chickens. If you need a good book you know where to look, in the children’s section under that old Dr. Seuss.

I completely agree with you here! Dr. Seuss was definitely an integral part of learning how to read. The first book I read by myself was “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish,” and I was given a giant book of Dr. Seuss stories that I still treasure to this day! There is something about his work that is really accessible and imaginative to young kids that makes them excited about reading.
Witty!
“We” also can’t go to college without Dr. Seuss in another way: how many copies of “Oh, the Places You’ll Go…” did you receive for your high school graduation? And just wait until you graduate from college. It’s obligatory.
… and yet, can we really presume the universality of Dr. Seuss? What’s at stake, politically, in that assumption?
Nice work.
I agree with you here as well! Dr. Seuss was always one of my favorite authors, and a prompt like this demands a response devoted to his highly memorable rhymes. I’m glad I was not the only person to include his work in their post! I also love your clear and direct style of writing. It flows and comes off very witty which definitely catches my attention. Great job!
Great job with this post! The fact that you were able to rhyme the words together to tell a story was such a great idea and really brings the reader in! I think that Dr.Seuss books do a great job of relating to different parts of our life. They also explain the steps we need to take to get there – whether it be learning to read, graduating from highshool, graduating from college, or anything in between.
