Best Dr. Seuss book ever,
I had trouble in getting to solla-sollew!!
That said, why not stir up some controversy.
I’ve heard it said in the name of R’ Ya’akov Kamenetzky Ztz”l that one should not read nor allow their children to read fiction books, because all you are doing is pumping sheker into your brain.
Anyone have any info on this? Specifically, does it apply even if the book teaches an important lesson? (Like the aforementioned Dr. Seuss book)
Additionally, R’ Bentzion Abba Shaul Ztz”l held that fiction books are “muktza machmas gufo” on shabbos.
I’m assuming that if there is a lesson in the book he would be maikel.
Anyone?
