It's awful. (Incidentally, did you know the ABC book can be sung to the ABC song?)<br /><br />I just did a blog post about how often he draws characters with their eyes closed. Like Mr. Brown, for instance, never opens his eyes for the entire book. Odd, that.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584075071891748174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-81359145559248093912011-03-06T20:32:07.079-07:002011-03-06T20:32:07.079-07:00I didn't know that about "nerd."

I was reading up on his methods and the extents he went to perfect the pentameter?

We would race to the book shelf to snatch it up. We would even behave all week just to be able to have first pick at the books during reading time...all for that one book! <br />I agree: his writing was much more than simple children's books! I only understand now, that I write more, how intelligent and artful his writing is (his and Shel Silverstein). Good post!
