Hi, Jennifer. Yeah, I’m convinced that Seuss is one of the biggest influences on my own sense of poetic rhythm. Very very good stuff for teaching kids the joy of linguistic play – or maybe just encouraging a natural tendancy in that direction. Dreadful to think how many much-too-grownup people disapproved of Seuss’ books when they first started appearing.
Flashing like fish in the sunlight. I like this.
This one has a little star. This one has a little car. My, what a lot of [windows] there are.
Just read the good Dr. this evening. The rhythm tends to stick in my head, even when I don’t have half the book memorized.
Thanks, MB.
