Words of Dr Suess

Children's Book Week, in my mind, requires that I pay homage to a children's author.  One of my favourite children's authors is Dr Seuss.  This man has a gift when it comes to words.  He knew how to rhyme them, weave them and even create them.  The good “Word Dr” has a sophisticated knowledge of language which allows him to say it simply.  When children open a Dr Seuss book, they open the door to a world of wonder, thought provoking tales and a whole lot of fun.  When an adult opens a Dr Seuss book, it is my hope that they are transported back to a happy part of their childhood of rhymes and learning and squeals of laughter and delight.

Happy Reading! 

His words may seem silly, but they really are wise.  So sit back and remember, and don’t criticise (links for sources and more info are at the bottom of this post).
