Today is when I found how profuse was Seuss. I planned to tell you of this and of that, about Theodore's art and about his muse.
Alas, I was stumped by the absence of his books. On Amazon and, perhaps, near the Nile. Besides the Ganga none, nor any titles at the Thames. For many a penny you will find a tome or two, oh phew! But nary a picture nor page for preview. A lass or lad can read them with ease only if they pay hefty fees. Is that fair, I cried out to the mayor. Alack, the outlook was bleak and black.
And so I sped next to Youtube where I found a video or two or three for free. I got greedy and here I give thee one each of each Seuss there was for free use. They are presented, one by one, not in chronological order - just for fun.
Make Green Eggs and Ham!
Awful!

An entire set of Seuss is the best gift ever for a child - as early as possible. And for anyone who wants to learn English. It's a tie breaker, an ice breaker. And with trillions of tongue twisters.
Tomorrow we look at the Seuss ruse - the what, where, how and why of it all!
