Writing for children is murder. A chapter has to be boiled down to a paragraph. Every word has to count.

If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good.
Dr. Seuss
We've taught you that the earth is round, That red and white make pink, And something else that matters more - We've taught you how to think.
Dr. Seuss
You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book.
Dr. Seuss
So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!
Dr. Seuss
Out there things can happen, and frequently do, To people as brainy and footsy as you. And when things start to happen, don't worry, don't stew. Just go right along, you'll start happening too!
Dr. Seuss
The problem with writing a book in verse is, to be successful, it has to sound like you knocked it off on a rainy Friday afternoon. It has to sound easy. When you can do it, it helps tremendously because it's a thing that forces kids to read on. You have this unconsummated feeling if you stop.
Dr. Seuss
Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.
Dr. Seuss
Things may happen and often do to people as brainy and footsy as you
Dr. Seuss
Children's reading and children's thinking are the rock-bottom base upon which this country will rise. Or not rise. In these days of tension and confusion, writers are beginning to realize that books for children have a greater potential for good or evil than any other form of literature on earth.
Dr. Seuss
Children's reading and children's thinking are the rock-bottom base upon which this country will rise.
Dr. Seuss
You're a monster, Mr. Grinch. Your heart's an empty hole. Your brain is full of spiders, You've got garlic in your soul.
Dr. Seuss
I know it is wet and the sun is not sunny, but we can have lots of good fun that is funny.
Dr. Seuss
And that is a story that no one can beat, When I say that I saw it on Mulberry Street.
Dr. Seuss
Did you ever fly a kite in bed? Did you ever walk with ten cats on your head? Did you ever milk this kind of cow? Well, we can do it. We know how. If you never did, you should. These things are fun and fun is good.
Dr. Seuss
I know, up on top you are seeing great sights, but down here at the bottom we, too, should have rights.
Dr. Seuss
My trouble was I had a mind but I couldn't make it up!
Dr. Seuss
The words in this book are all phooey. When you say them, your lips will make slips and back flips and your tongue may end up in Saint Looey!
Dr. Seuss
Oh, the things you can find if you don't stay behind!
Dr. Seuss
Sometimes, when I see my granddaughters make small discoveries of their own, I wish I were a child.
Dr. Seuss
How true, how true said the Sour Kangaroo, And from now on, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm going to protect them with you! And the Young Kangaroo in her pouch said Me too!
Dr. Seuss
