I would like to give you a warning, here. Before you present any Dr Seuss books to sprog, sit down -- by yourself -- and read them aloud half a dozen times each. I realise that you will feel like a moron, but do it anyhow. If you are sick of the books after half a dozen read-alouds, for the love of cheese, reconsider the damn books. Seriously. Or -- this is better -- buy them in board book form, which is a shortened version aimed at younger kids. Because I will tell you now that there is nothing like reading seven Dr. Seuss books in a freaking row, and then being asked to read them all again. I love reading to Maura, but I have a once a day limit on Dr Seuss at this point, because the nonsensical singsong rhymeness of it all drives me absolutely INSANE.
