#8: Being Crazy Isn't Enough

Some of us would know most of the catchy and memorable books written by Dr. Seuss and know by heart which quote belongs to which book and even which character said that particular quote. His published collection of children's books are often remembered thanks to its imaginative characters, subtle moralities and most importantly, the way the book is written in rhymes.

To name a few, Dr Seuss' bestselling children's books include Green Eggs and Ham, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Horton Hears A Who! and The Cat in the Hat.

All of these books consists of stories told in rhymes as well funny and imaginative characters, quotes and story line. What all of his books have in common in terms of illustrations is simplicity, be it the way the characters are drawn or the colours of the illustrations, simplicity is what also captures our attention.



Dr Seuss' books mostly consists of characters he dubbed the Whos' and he himself came up with the illustrations of how a Who looks like. Recurrent in books like Horton Hears A Who! and How The Grinch Stole Christmas, the Whos' just add to the what makes his books what it is.

What I find most creative about all of his books are the quotes one can find. The quotes incorporated within the rhyming sentences in Dr Seuss' books are like a summary of what the book is all about. These quotes have somehow managed to define what most of us feel inside, be it the weirdness in us and how we should be true to ourselves, that the people that matter don't mind and the people who mind don't matter, Dr Suess' play on words and the meaning these rhymes bring says out loud the moralities that we tend to overlook.

"You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book." - Dr Seuss
