Purpose of this Blog...

You may have noticed that not all books are equal in capturing children's imaginations and in cultivating those innocent, tender souls. My goal is to help you find the ones that do!

    Yes, indeed...a great illustrator and writer (the rhyming words seem to help children learning to read)...I love the whimsical and imaginative drawings in "Oh the Places You'll Go!" and "The Lorax" is one of my favorites, along with "Horton Hears a Who!"
