He is my hero. I remember when I read that he passed away - I was walking across my college campus and saw a newspaper box with the news on it. I stood there and cried my eyes out. Miss you so much, Dr. S!!!

I got an "A" in a college course because I could explain Environmentalism using his book "The Lorax" "I speak for the trees!"

One of my favorites is a little known story that shows the stupidity of war, "The Butter Battle" "Who's going to drop it? Will you...? Or Will he..?"Be patient," said Grandpa. "We'll see. We will see....

I wonder if he was a secret quilter? That describes many of our sewing rooms. I love his books!

Butter Battle Book was a wonderful book! He was actually an artist as well as an author/illustrator. He did some very interesting pieces of art. I have always wanted to own one, but have never had the money...
