Dear Dr.
Seuss,
You are my favorite author. Even though
you’ve died, your books live on. Every time a new child opens one of
your books it brings laughter and smiles from the words and the pictures
on the pages. I too have always enjoyed reading your books and exploring
your imaginary worlds.
When I was a child, I always enjoyed looking
at your collection of books and learning to read a bit. I’ve always
had good memories of the books and had fun reading them.
I am a preschool teacher at Little Star
Preschool Too in San Francisco. I like reading your books, Dr. Seuss,
to the children at my day care center. Learning new words and rhyming
sounds is fun for them thanks to you. My preschoolers like to pretend
they’re the teacher reading Dr. Seuss to the other children.
We are doing book appreciation and we
are making Cat in the Hat headbands and we will be reading it along
with Green Eggs and Ham. We’re going to discuss these stories in the
class. Also, we’re having a cooking project of green eggs and ham.
I’m an adult with a reading disability.
I started off reading Dr. Seuss when I began to learn how to read again.
It was my first step. Your books taught me how to read better. I enjoyed
reading again. Someday I would love to write my own books for children
who have reading disabilities just like me.
Thank you for reading my letter.
Sincerely,
John
