Wow, Sandhya!You sure know your Dr. Seuss books! It’s interesting how you pick out something special from each book…I found myself nodding along as I read your comment. You must have won many little hearts by giving ‘Are you my mother?’! So, are you or anybody you know planning a Dr. Seuss birthday event? What about children’s bookstores in your city? Do share!

I have read Dr Seuss books to my daughter since she was a year old. Our favourite books have been many. We like ‘The cat in the hat’ and its sequel for the pure mayhem and irreverence. We like ‘Fox in socks’ and ‘Oh say, can you say’ for its tongue twisters. We have spent a lot of time savouring the sheer pleasure of those words. I have put ‘Green eggs and ham’ to good use to make her eat something that she feels she will not like. We like ‘oh, the things you can think’, ‘McElligot’s pool’ and ‘Oh, the places you’ll go’, for the sheer imagination. ‘The lorax’, for what it teaches about protecting the environment. I could go on and on. Dr. Seuss is rocks. Our special favourite is actually a book by P. D. Eastman, also a part of the ‘Cat in the Hat’ series. It is a book called ‘Are you my mother?’ We have read it so many times since before she understood english. I would tell her the story in Marathi and the pictures did the rest. We have lost track of the number of children we have gifted this book.
