What a great ABC list - I think I've read all those books to my kids at one point or another.

Great list! I will show that to my students when we do our Seuss reading. I posted about the Dr. as well this week! I made it late to the round-up though thanks to internet demons. :)

Nicely done. Did you notice that there's also blue goo in Fox in Socks?
