I would rule out green eggs and ham.
Sam I am? Shmuel the jewel.
Horton hears a Megillah?
For Pesach, did the Lorax clean with Borax?
The cat in the black hat?
One fish, two fish, red fish, gefilte fish.
Horton roasts an egg?
Although best known for rhyming “cat” with “hat” and “one fish, two fish” with “red fish, blue fish,” “Dr.” Theodore Geisel ― better known as Dr. Seuss ― was also an incredibly talented politicla cartoonist. A decade before his more well know children’s books, he had published hundreds of cartoons during WW II rendering Hitler, Y’S as a mad scientist and castigating the American governments growing ambivalence to the evolving genocide in Nazi Europe even before the true extent of the horror was fully understood.
I guess this is not a great posting for Purim but every time I hear Suess mentioned, I feel compelled to remind folks of his greater contributions than iconic children’s books.
