Books are keys to wisdom’s treasure;
Books are paths that upward lead;
Books are gates to lands of pleasure;
Books are friends.
Come, let us read!

We are readers here also> I love the little peepers looking over the book and the Go, Dog, Go reader with such and intense look! When out #2 child(son) was little I could recite The Cat in the Hat–still can if I get started!

One of our older guys was extra wiggley and could not sit very long to wait for a page turn-they had to be nearly immediate if we wanted to finish a book with him in our lap–we shortened his fav book (Green Eggs and HAm)-”would you like them in a box?” NO! would you like them..” NO! We still do it for fun now–everyone loves to yell NO!
DOes anyone know where that poem came from?

Do you mean Green Eggs and Ham? Theodore Seuss Giesel wrote it about his feelings about Richard Nixon. “I do not like you, Sam-I-Am.” Guesses about how Dr. Seuss felt about Nixon?
If you mean some other poem, I wasn’t paying attention. Dr. Seuss is my favorite.
My favorite Seuss is the The Sneetches… “Now the Star Belly Sneetches had bellies with stars, but the plain belly Sneetches had none upon thars….”

I meant the poem that I broke into pieces to put beside the pictures! We found it on a bookplate in an old book about 10 years ago and put it in our books now…no author was given.
I love Dr Suess–also Theo LeSeig–his books are cool too!
Did not know that about Nixon though…funny! I got out The Butter Battle Book when trying explain the Cold War to little boys!

O, that poem. Probably written for the bookplate. Those authors never get any credit. I am a virtual repository of useless information.

I take it back, I Googled it and the poem was written by Emilie Poulsson (1853-1939) who authored and co-authored a number a children’s books.

COOL!! I’ll start giving her credit–he name looks to be an alternate spelling of my married name as well-should give my MIL a new trail to chase!
