it's a bit freudian, i know. but as a little girl her parents wouldn't buy her the dr. seuss books she desperately wanted. it left a hole in her heart. a space large enough for sadness to steal in. and stay there. forever after.love someone? then give them some suess. sometime. for whimsicality's sake. seuss isn't for the young. he's for the young at heart.
one reason i'm still here is "the king's stilts". it reminds us why it's important to be nice to kings. and cats. if we're to stay high. and dry. and to enjoy the eccentricities of others. like petite girls in tottering heels. or monarchs on stilts. and be glad.
a litte book. a lot of joie de vivre.

I love Dr. Seuss ... and you're right about the underlying messages.
