Hess http://blog.poemofquotes.com/?p=149 Everyone loves Dr. Seuss, but it is a little known fact many of his books didn’t make it to the printing press. In his early years, Dr. Seuss struggled to write a publishable book. Here are a few of his unpublished books that could have been great.

  1. The Cat in a Cat
    Dr. Seuss Book
  2. Green Eggs on Pam
    Dr. Seuss Book
  3. Pop on Mop
    Dr. Seuss Book
  4. How the Grinch Ate Cookies
    Dr. Seuss Book
  5. Horton Hears a Jew
    Dr. Seuss Book

But like any great writer, Dr. Seuss got back on his elephant and continued writing until he finally got it right.

Hess http://blog.poemofquotes.com/?p=148 Dr. Seuss is famous for providing appealing books that are both educational and entertaining. All of Dr. Seuss’s works are great for beginning readers and read-alouds and are preferred by more parents than any other children’s author.

Dr. Seuss’s rhymes and quirky characters make his books memorable and appealing to children of all ages. Children who are exposed to books with rhymes and alliterations (like Dr. Seuss’s) learn how to read faster and spell better than those who aren’t.
