I loved all the characters...but I had daydreams about living in the houses! they were amazing,
yeah, dr. seuss is the best, totally insane, the houses were like being on acid, i would love to have one built like that.
it is difficult to have a favourite character, always liked the lyrics the lorax would come out with, 'i am the lorax i speak for the trees' - the lorax was totally cool, and all my life whenever i see a hole in the clouds a shiver runs through me and i remember, that is where the lorax went!
the zax were cool too, too proud to alter their paths they just stood facing eachother while a city was build around them.
i think one of the most insane stories of dr. seuss is the 'butter battle book' where they build a wall dividing the people and have an arms race because they disagree on which side to butter their toast!

My son loves Hop on Pop...ever since he was 2.
And yes, even at six, he likes to hop on pop.

Well, you know you've made a cool new friend when you see her at Halloween dressed up as a Star-Bellied Sneetch.
But my own favorites were: The King's Stilts, The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins, and Yertle the Turtle.
Hmm....all parables of resistance to bureaucracy or entrenched power....
Oh, btw, check amazon.com for a book called The Art of Dr. Seuss. The picture titles are just as fabulous as the art itself; my favorite title was "The Joyous Leaping of Uncanned Salmon." I gave the book to my son for his first Christmas present about eight years ago.

Yikes ... I never liked Dr. Seuss. No fav for me. Regardless, we wound up buying a bunch of the books for our kids. My daughter loved them. My son hated them. He always grabbed something else from the shelf for bedtime stories.
