Children's Literature
Every few years Random House reissues the various Dr. Seuss tales including this one, which dates back to the 1950s, before his Cat in the Hat easy-reads, and why shouldn't they?! It is likely that many share my firm belief that one is never too young or too old for Dr. Seuss. Leaders of state might do well to curl up with a child or grandchild and Yertle the Turtle, for example. Reading how the most overweening arrogance can be upset by a burp should help them think about building their power on the backs of their subjects. The lessons of Gertrude McFuzz and the Big Brag are equally salutary and equally easy to go back to again and again, thanks to inimitable rollicking rhymes and Seussy illustrations. The only way in which this "Party Edition" seems to differ from any other is that the cover is a little glitzier. Reviewer: Mary Hynes-Berry
