Dr Seuss who is he? A cartoon cat from what I can see. 'I can read it by myself' Means books get taken from the shelf. This is the motto of Beginner Books. Ensure each book gets lots of looks. Children take great pride and pleasure. To read for themselves and at their leisure. Pictures, humour and a rhyme, bring a happy reading time. Rhyming repeated doesn't cause sadness.
