Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?

Today is Dr. Seuss's 100th birthday. Here are 10 things you may not have known about the world's most popular children's author (J.K. Rowling notwithstanding), courtesy of the BBC. The article includes lots of comments from readers, including several tributes that attempt to imitate Seuss's inimitable style. There are some insightful observations, too:

"To put it simply, Dr. Seuss revolutionized children's literature. He kept it simple but never talked down to them. The reason why so many adults love his books is because they teach the same things to us. He stopped treating children like idiots and more like slightly different adults. This is the one thing that all good children's writers have in common."
