Although some may say Seuss's use of nonsense words is uneducational, I believe it promotes the use of imagination and creativity. Nobody that I know of can actually define a "Zizzer-zazzer-zuzz" or a "Ruffle-Necked Sala-ma-goox", as used Seuss used in his books Dr. Seuss's ABC's, and Scrambled Eggs Super, but that leaves it to the young readers mind to imagine how these unheard of characters look and act.

Suess takes two groups of characters, star-belly sneetches and plain-belly sneetches. Of course the star-belly sneetches are convinced that they're better than the others, until one day a machine is

Dr. Seuss's books are the ideal choice for young children because with his rhyming words and imaginative stories, he is able to keep their attention longer than most other books.
