I loved Dr Seuss when I was just young enough to draw out my very own books from the municipal library with their colourful illustrations.
By co-incidence, at a.n.other site a friend I know was doing an online streamed reading yesterday and they chose The Sneetches to read which was wonderfully relaxing and did tackle Green Eggs and Ham a fortnight before.

A memorial tree at my local park has a plaque beneath it and I was delighted to recognise the inscription as a quotation from Dr. Seuss's One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish:

If you never did,
you should.
These things are fun
and fun is good.

It sounds as though the person for whom the tree was planted led a full and happy life.
"Heyho for a starry night and a heathery bed!" - Jack, The Secret Island.

"There is no bond like the bond of having read and liked the same books."
- E. Nesbit, The Wonderful Garden.
