Harried Dad Tidbiddle is a remarkably busy man with no time to spare, so when the Cat in the Hat tries to sell him a "Simplify-Your-Life-Machine," Dad is immediately smitten.

Season-only
Sue Snue is sent on an important mission: to deliver a box filled with precious gifts to Regina, the Queen of Ka-Larry. With Fox in Socks and Mr. Knox as her escorts, she must do whatever it takes to get the box to the Queen...even if it means getting there with a slightly lighter box.
17 Yertle The King

Alvin is as sweet as can be, but he drives Jane, Junior, and Thidwick crazy when he never finishes what he starts -- including his trip home!

It's easier for the kids to read because it rhymes that's what I like about dr. Seuss books.
