Does anyone know if C. S. Lewis ever read and/or commented on anything by the great Dr. Seuss (pronounced Zeus...plug for John :snow-wink: )

Dr. Seuss was awesome. He literally changed the face of children's literature. What's everyone's favorite book of his?

Horton Hears a Who and Horton Hatches the Egg.

"I meant what I said,
And I said what I meant.
An elephant's faithful,
One hundred percent!"

That said, I love almost all of his books.

Did anyone see Horton Hears a Who? I thought it was one of the better drawn-out film adaptations.

My favorite one has to be about the "Sneeches on the Beaches", thoug I can't remember it's title.

A close second would be the one about the East going Zack and the West going Zack. Again, can't remember the title.

Does anyone remember The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins? That, and I love Fox in Socks and Green Eggs and Ham.

I personally like The Lorax and Bartholomew and the Oobleck. All of the Bartholomew Cubbins books are fantastic, though.

I credit at least some of my lifelong interest in mathematics and science to On Beyond Zebra, the book that describes the various "letters" of the alphabet that come after "Z" and sample "words" they are used in. For me it was one of the first examples I ran across that illustrated the (now overused and trivialized) idea of "thinking outside the box", something that is so essential to true mathematical and scientific insight.
