One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish

One of my strongest childhood memories is of Dr. Seuss’ One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. I can recall being introduced to the magical world in which one can box with a Gox, sing with a Ying or sleep with a pet Zeep. The fanciful, exotic creatures that filled the book were unlike any I had seen before.

Dr. Seuss encourages us to discover that “everyday, from here to there, funny things are everywhere,” not just in the amazing worlds he created in his books, but in ours as well. Dr. Seuss helps us look at the lighter, funnier side of situations instead of always looking at the serious side. You might miss something wonderful if you don’t open your eyes and look closely at that which surrounds you.

Dr. Seuss has spanned the generations from my childhood bookshelf to that of my 7-year-old son, Tom. In fact, the book has been so important to us that we are registered to get the first Zans bred in the United States. The breeder says it may take some time.
