I'm not the target audience and I don't have fond memories of reading them as a kid. Although I know I did read them at one point or another. They didn't make a big impression though and rereading - I didn't the impression any better. They're alright. Very weird. Very whacky. But at least most of them rhyme. 2.5 stars.

Theodor Seuss Geisel better known to millions of his fans as Dr. Seuss was born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904.

He soon turned his many talents to writing children's books, and his first book And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street was published in 1937. His greatest claim to fame was the one and only The Cat in the Hat, published in 1957, the first of a successful range of early learning books known as Beginner Books.
