Or the concept that in a drop of rain water there could be a whole other universe. Or this universe is in, say, a drop of water, being watched by others.

I always liked the end of Men In Black films, where they are a universe in a marble or in a locker...always made me laugh

I never really paid much attention to the MIB movies, but what you say about the universe in a marble could be apt for a number of movies. Perhaps the Mad Max bunch, or even LOTR.

Remember, a whole planet of people existing on a speck of dust on a flower...."even though you can’t see or hear them at all, a person’s a person, no matter how small."

Well, that is my idea of the raindrop in literature form. Never read Seuss, however.

I read "Hop on Pop" to my kids dozens and dozens and dozens of times - along with "Red Fish, Blue Fish" and "The Butter Battle Book." I sometimes still call my youngest (now 18) "My Daisy Head Maisy." http://www.mfwi.org/mfwi/Recordings/HopOnPop.pdfOTOH, "The Sneetches" is prophecy. While I usually tutor several hours a week in math, I had about 15 minutes of tutoring an ESL student on an essay a month or so ago. Her assignment was to write a persuasive essay with supporting evidence to support or reject "Designer Babies." She had been working on the essay for days and had only written half a paragraph on the con side, her supporting evidence being that it is "against god." I suggested she first write an outline of her paper and made a reference to "Sneetches" which she did not understand. I then recommended she read it. In fact, I think every HS graduate ought to have read it (though I had until years later myself).
