Dear Amazon, Long time Prime and Kindle customer. Please be advised that I will cancel you if I hear you cancel Dr. Seuss. Just one dude that spends money on your platform. I love Amazon, and would hate to let you go. Stephen Olson

Of all the Suess books the most memorable of my childhood was Go, Dog, Go. However, I loved The Cat in the Hat. I read it to my children and gave it to my grandchildren. I read this so many times to my five children, that I have it memorized. Other books in my memorized Seuss repertoire are One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, Green Eggs and Ham, and Hop of Pop. It's fun to hear my daughters read these aloud to their children with ExAcTlY the same inflections and voices. Maybe all those years of reading aloud every night (and all day long) were good for more than I knew. Anyway, Dr. Suess's books deserve a place in children's literature today as well as when he was new during my childhood. Racist my eye!
