I think I know 7/15, which is embarrassing since my 6-year-old has an entire shelf dedicated to Dr. Seuss!

My favorite Seuss book is definitely Yertle the Turtle.

Too bad, I don't even know Dr. Seuss 😟

[Matt Doar]

Now Asterix or Tintin, I'd be up in the 95% range

[Thomas Schlegel]

Oh yes, that would be much better. I really had to google Dr. Seuss. He's totally unknown in Germany. I know the Grinch, but that's all.

[Gregory Van Den Ham]

Ooooh, I could dig up some Tintin, that'd be a fun little quiz too.

[Jack Brickey]

1-6, 11, 12, 14 - check

7-10,13, 15 - :-(

7 and 6...pretty sure i failed.

A person's a person, no matter how small.

OMG.  I've become too much of an adult and lost my childhood memories.  Time to step back, slow down and read some wonderful classics again.  Geez, talk about feeling OLD...
