Thread: Rediscovering Dr Seuss

When I was growing up some well intentioned person told my parents that if you read to your kids they will get lazy and never learn how to read themselves. My parents tried this with me and consequently I learned to read when I was about ten years old. So I missed out on the Dr. Seuss books. All I knew of them was that they were children's books and not for teenagers.

But now that my wife is pregnant I have been ending each day with a story time. I don't know if there are actually any benefits to reading to an unborn baby, but it is fun and relaxing for my wife and I. This will also get us in the habit of reading stories to our kid.

So anyway, my wife downloaded some children's story books to her ipad. Most children's story books are rather dull and boring, so I downloaded some Dr. Seuss books. Fox in Socks has become my favorite (who wouldn't love learning about the habits of tweetle beetles?), while my wife loves Green Eggs and Ham.

I know most people here are into high brow stuff, but does anyone else like Dr. Seuss?
