I don't normally sign up for challenges; basically because I don't do well in them and it seems like homework. Ug! I am a library clerk and shelve books in each department. It never fails that some of the books just fairly jump out at me and say, "Take me home!". Since I do have a number of children's books and and do plan on reading more, I thought I just might try it and see what happens.

A bit late (just catching up!), but welcome to the group, OldDan!
Oh, I love Dr Seuss. So much fun, especially Fox in Socks.

Thanks, Wookiebender, for the welcome. I only read Green Eggs and Ham and Cat in The Hat when my son was little, so I'm reading the others now. My son went through a phase when we only got to eat green scrambled eggs which my husband didn't appreciate (and this was a man who had an iron stomach!).

I didn't read much Seuss as a kid, so was flabbergasted by how brilliant they were when I got to read them to my kids! Some were very familiar however (Horton, The Grinch) so obviously my Mum was not deficient in her reading aloud of those.
Ah, the joys of having kids and being reintroduced to all the wonders of childhood! (Argh! The tooth fairy forgot to visit again last night! *headdesk*)
