Dr. Seuss

As silly as it may sound, Dr. Seuss is one of my favorite authors, mainly because his works are so simple but very entertaining for children and adults. His books are particular favorites for beginning readers because they are simple and very entertaining with the rhymes, illustrations and the silly characters.
My favorite of his books include Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. His books are so popular that two of my favorites have also been made into film. If you know anything about these films, you know that the main characters were played by very humorous actors such as Jim Carrey and Mike Myers. They were perfect for the roles, if I do say so myself. In my opinion the movies were just as wildly entertaining as the books. Although he wrote in a way that was entertaining to readers, he also wrote so that readers could recognize the morals without feeling as if they were being preached to. If you've ever noticed, his illustrations of his characters all look alike, just with minor adjustments. His landscapes are noted for their creation of distance. His rhyme schemes are simple, but he creates a variety of strange and crazy names and places at the same time. All in all, Dr. Seuss is a talented individual and I dare say that there's not another author out there like him.
