    <body><![CDATA[One of the few Dr. Seuss books I did not discover until having a child, and I'm glad I did.  Unfortunately it tends to be overlong and occasionally monotonous, but enough of the hypothesized circus acts are inventive enough that they make you want to keep going.

    <body><![CDATA[Ok, I got to revisit this book with my 4-year-old lately and it took a huge leap forward on my list of favorite Seusses.  While I usually like Seuss's Themes, this is just a brilliant stroll through the great gent's imagination.
