If I Ran the Zoo

Alec Baldwin
Actor; Co-Star of Universal Studio’s “The Cat in the Hat”

Going to Zomba-ma-Tant to capture a Bustard? Or the African island of Yerka to bring back the Tufted Mazurka? Or will you be rolling in on your Cooker-mobile, offering chicken croquettes made of library paste in order to coax out the cave-dwelling Natch of Kartoom? (Not to be confused with Khartoum.) Then you are firmly inside the mind of Dr. Seuss and his book If I Ran the Zoo.

Dr. Seuss thinks like a child. It is the wonderful collision of silliness and nonsense that results in a world of its own. A world where, once you are inside, everything makes perfect sense. And you might even have trouble seeing the "real" world the same way again. Like Twain and Lewis Caroll, Seuss has a one-of-a-kind mind. Where else can you find:

In the Far Western part
Of south-east North Dakota
Lives a very fine animal
Called the Iota.
But I'll capture one
Who is even much finer
In the north-eastern west part
Of South Carolina.

If I Ran the Zoo is Seuss as Noah, inhabiting his world with animals that only he could have imagined. Read it to your child today!!!
