I guess in my old age I am going to have to go back to Seuss. I am feeling my age with that statement.

Don't feel pressured Luke, only if you have time on your hands LOL. The Dr Seuss books may not even be popular with kids today, I'm talking 25 yrs ago.

I just did the Seussical Musical with my middle school kids (ages 10-14) and they loved it! Seuss is still cool.

No, it is still popular, as a teacher I heard about it many times, I just never got around to it. Probably have it out on video games soon anyway, and that will certainly influence a comeback.

A classic almost always gains that distinction for a reason, even among children's books. A big chunk of Geisel's collected works is I'm sure destined for the same greatness and eventual cultural longevity as Peter Pan, The Wizard of Oz, and Wrinkle in Time. (Probably Where the Wild Things are will have the same fate.)
I think maybe a 1000 years from now, children and their parents will still savor them.

I, for one, certainly hope so. As a youngster, other than the school library, I did not have access to books of the Seuss vintage. And I did not have teachers to steer me in their direction. More's the loss.
