and the expression on their face is probably the expression on mine when I read that you've only ever read one Dr. Seuss.
Oh, no - just only one out of those you've included on your list! I mean, he's not quite such a staple in the UK but he's pretty well known. I had a wonderful pop-up Dr Seuss that I have no idea what the name was, but it had lots of mice in it. It's just there are LOTS and I had said pop up one of my own, and then I read a few of the most famous ones when I was a librarian, but they didn't happen to be the ones you picked out here.
(I just don't personally seem to remember reading many picture books as a child, really. I think I only had access to them at school. My middle sis and I were very close in age, so it was probably a bit much for Mum to get to the library when we were both tiny. We had a little home collection of illustration fairy tales, Bible stories and old Ladybird books that she used to read to us at night, plus I learned to read at 3 or 4 and moved onto the younger end of Enid Blyton fairly swiftly - we had some Noddy books, too. Little Sis, though, we used to get her picture books from the library and she definitely had favourites - including Dogger!)
