i just thought this was kinda intresting...
i used to love the books when i was little, but i never really thought much about the meaning, but recently in my US History class we had to do a report on one of his books and try to find the historical/moral meaning (but not all books have this, but alot do)
i did the zax and it's about war and more specifically the cold war, as is the butter battle. yertle was actually written about hitler. and the sneetches is about racism and equality...
lol, i never would of guessed! i always thought they were just normal childrens books...

what do you guys think about children reading things that are sposed to be about war? i think its a good thing cause it teaches kids about that kind of stuff at a young age, but doesnt really talk about it... it's a good way of getting the message across i think
"i'm willing to do anything
to calm the storm in my heart
i've never been the praying kind
but lately i've been down upon my knees
not looking for a miracle
just a reason to believe"
