The Dr Seuss books may not even be popular with kids today, I'm talking 25 yrs ago.

The Dr Seuss books may not even be popular with kids today, I'm talking 25 yrs ago. 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. ----please, draw me a sheep---- Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: time on my hands tsuwm #198204 03/10/11 04:30 PM Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 1,526 Virginia, USA TheFallibleFiend veteran TheFallibleFiend veteran Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 1,526 Virginia, USA 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.

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. ----please, draw me a sheep---- Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Page 13 of 13 1 2 … 11 12 13 Go to page...
