Books

I never thought I'd find myself admitting to this, but I think I'm finally sick and tired of Dr. Seuss. Our four-year-old has developed an obsession with the late Doctor's works and we've been indulging it in keeping with the theory of "Anything That Encourages Literacy Has to Be Good." As an adult, I think Dr. Seuss books are one of the pleasures of reading to your children. With so many dull children's books out there, especially those derived from TV shows (Elmo, or, even worse, Dora the Explorer) or derivatives of past-their-prime book series (Clifford, anyone?), Dr. Seuss books are a joy to read, with even the simpler ones like the seemingly basic Hop On Pop being at least fun to read, and seminal works like The Cat in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas coming off as high art.
