Dr. Seuss

Dear 1C friends --

The answer to our last guessing game was an American author and poet of children's books named Dr. Seuss. He has written over 60 books, which are filled with brilliant rhymes and talking animals (and other make believe characters). Dr. Seuss' books are VERY popular in the U.S., and you should know about them! They are FABULOUS.

Check out the these links to Dr. Seuss' works:
You will have to listen closely, and probably more than once to understand.
