In my Senior English class we celebrated the "Seussentinnial" by reading a bunch of Dr. Seuss books to the class. It was a lot of fun, albeit childish. I've never read anything as interesting as Dr. Seuss.

I personally think the guy was a freak.
Whenever he couldn't make a sentence rhyme, he just made up words.
Also a lot of enviro-whacko messages in his stories ("Horton hears a Who" and the "Lorax")
But the kids love him.

He really was into the environment. He probably figured future EPA workers would be reading his books.
