Sometimes you need to have children to reread books that you may have read when you were very small and then appreciate the absolute genius of a man such as Dr Seuss.
His books are magnificently written, and the stories he tells, whether the themes are covering Nazi Germany and totalitarianism or the dangers of harming the environment as he sets out in his wonderful book, “The Lorax”.

Another one of his books, and perhaps his best in my opinion is “Oh, The Places You Will Go” which encourages children to climb their mountain, face their challenges and accept that there will be bad days. It is not that different to the creators of the wonderful children’s movies that you get these days – where the storytellers are able to tell a story that on one level appeals to adults because of the intelligence and humour behind the lessons and on another level, can teach children a wonderful moral story. Dr Seuss was certainly the pioneer and it is no surprise that his books continue, some 50 years later, to be major bestsellers.
