This is the second book I've read about Doctor Seuss in the last few months.Theodor Geisel, the man, is totally different than Doctor Seuss, the children's author we have all come to know. I can remember watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas every year. Max the dog, hanging over the ledge with his stapled on antlers was always my favorite. As my kids grew up, we added The Cat in the Hat, Horton Hears a Who, and the Lorax to our repertoire. Last year my daughter's school performed Seussology.When I sold cars, one of the salesmen swore Green Eggs and Ham was the best sales primer ever written. I can see his point. Look at all of the objections he overcame to sell him on those Green Eggs and Ham.My thoughts: The book is fairly well written. The subject is fascinating, and the material he has produced has touched all of our lives in one way or another.Read the book!
