Status Updates From The Bippolo Seed and Other ...

Notes:
(1) Magazine stories, much wordier rhymes.
- Penned for adults, less for children this time.
- It's comic strip humor, a thinkier mood,
less silly and lively—it's all more subdued.
(2) Echoes of plots, be them future or past.
- Some outright recycled with players recast.
(3) The artwork's alright, not his signature look.
- A style more in line with his earlier books.

My daughter is going through a phase of loving Dr. Seuss. Some of these are much better than others. Some are great poetry and fun stories with living ideas. Some are twaddle for sure. Just starting this collection. I don't enjoy the ones written by his publishers in his name later on nearly as much as his originals. And I prefer the ones he also illustrates. Other illustrators are often not as good.

The audio is amazing - Neil Patrick Harris and Anjelica Huston!
