Dr. Seuss began as an illustrative cartoonist which was pretty cool for him because when he began to write, he illustrated his own books. It was his illustrations, as well as his incredible words, that made him famous.
Dr. Seuss taught children and adults alike how to live life with his catchy words that hold a message for all.

You’re Only Old Once! (first adult book at age 78)
“You’re in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.”
Dr Seuss
This last quote is Dr. Seuss’s first adult book he wrote at the age of 78. But when I read through all of these quotes, I feel he was writing to both adults and children alike. His life lessons are a good example to follow for the young and old.
Each quote has the ability to mean something different for each person. You can use each one to improve yourself and learn. But if you don’t want to admit they may be for you, just sit down and read these books to your kiddos and absorb all the lessons you teach to them. It works, for I have done it myself.
