I absolutly LOVE Dr. Seuss! He was so creative and so different. I guess that's why people like his books. I still don't know if it is poetry or stories...Maybe it could be both. But if Dr. Seuss was alive then I would ask him. But I read almost all of his books. My favorite is GREEN EGGS AND HAM!!!!!!!!!! Hahahaha! I use to read his books when I was younger but I miss him because he can't make anymore books. And nobody can ever replace him and if they did, they couldn't do the work the way he could.
