In fact, I think his mastery of the rhyme and the tongue twister sets him above most other children's authors, including the ones who published under his imprint.Lately I've been reading One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish to my daughter at night to get her to bed and it occurred to me that this book makes no sense whatsoever (my daughter is 2 and a half years old and refers to it as the Fishy Book).It starts off talking about fish. That would make sense, given the title. Then it starts talking about strange creatures in bizarre situations, such as running, or walking for miles in their sleep, or getting visited by cats, dogs, and cows in their beds. Then after a while it talks about animals that serve as household appliances, and then finally just starts talking about strange pets.WTF?? The book makes no sense! I swear Dr. Seuss must have been on some pretty good drugs when he came up with that stuff. The subject matter just wanders and wanders until it finally ends.</blockquote>
