Can all you pro-lifers stop attributing “Horton Hears a Who!” to your movement, please? The book was not written for the pro-life movement, in fact, Dr. Seuss himself was passionately pro-choice. The book is an allegory on U.S. occupation of Japan after World War II, and how vicious and…

Or something like that.
He uses the same colors throughout the book. (blue, purple, yellow, orange, pinks, and green).
Abstract and simple pictures of trees, balloons, landscapes, buildings, people ect.
His stories relate to real life events (how everybody just waits around).
A lot of repetition of how the animals, buildings, trees, ect.
The rhymes are simple, but tells the story very carefully. And makes it work.
It’s for college students going out to the real world.

So I decided to pick up a crappy book and read until they fixed the car. I thought it would be better to look at children’s books instead of a J.Bieber autobiography. And I realized that children’s books all have a moral, or lesson to teach. Like Dr.Seuss’s books tell kids to try new things before you knock them (green eggs and ham) or you don’t have to fit in with the crowd (the sneetches). So I have seen the light. I need to come up with an arguement and dumb it down, so little kids can understand it. now all I have to do is come up with a lesson or whatevs.
