Did you ever fly a kite in bed? Did you ever walk with ten cats on your head?' Such are the profound, philosophical queries posed in this well-loved classic by Theodor 'Dr. Seuss' Geisel. While many rhymes in this couplet collection resemble sphinx-worthy riddles, Seuss's intention is clear: teach children to read in a way that is both entertaining and educational. It matters little that each wonderful vignette has nothing to do with the one that follows. (We move seamlessly from a one-humped Wump and Mister Gump to yellow pets called the Zeds with one hair upon their heads.)
