Seuss' goal, in writing for children and adults alike, was to inspire thought and engage his audience in each and every story.

"I want to see a bunch of scrappy kids talking back to us.And I want to sit there and tell the kid 'OK, buddy, I think, you're wrong, but if you're so sure of yourself that the steps need to be painted magenta, go ahead, i'll buy the paint.'" - Dr. Seuss (Phillip 2004) |
| "Children
going through are not forbidden to touch. The exhibits are all marked
"Do Touch." I
want a museum that will have a real, operable printing press alongside
a shelf of books, and blocks of wood and chisels alongside woodcuts,
so that children can watch and work at the same time. I
would keep the museum forever in an uncompleted state.... not a
state of confusion, but a state of challenge. Pitting the youth
against the elders." -Dr. Seuss (Phillip 2004) |
