Mrs Barista wrote:The Cat in the Hat film I think you mean was awful but as children's books go, I love Dr Seuss. The Sneetches is great and I think you'd enjoy it - described by Wikipedia that "an allegory for prejudice and discrimination, and also offers a lesson of materialism and entrepreneurship" with the central characters being some "
vaguely avian yellow creatures who live on a beach". Right up your street.
The Fox is a character in another story, Green Eggs and Ham. The main character doesn't like green eggs and ham and is challenged throughout the story by the irritating "Sam-I-Am" about whether he would like them in a variety of other circumstances, all rhyming obviously. "Would you like them in the rain, would you like them on a plane?". This is just a bit cheeky "Would you, could you, with a fox?" Maybe it's me - I saw a very large lady on hols with a "Save a horse, ride a cowboy" t-shirt and smirked about it a lot. Smutfest.
I do like childrens rhyming books, though. Pass the Jam, Jim, The Giant Jam Sandwich, The Gruffalo. All brilliant. Not rhyming, but the Shirley Hughes books, especially Alfie and Annie Rose ones, always make me nostalgic.
I wouldn't, I would have to burn them. I get the T shirt now. I was referring to the film in your little picture.
I like the sentiment behind the Dr. Seuss books but really, if you haven't learnt that stuff by your mid thirties you might as well give up.
