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?

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.
