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.

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.

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...
