"What begins with T? / Ten tired turtles / on a tuttle-tuttle tree."
In typical Seuss fashion, the good doctor manages to turn a mundane educational topic into a weird and wonderful romp, with letters being used for both normal words and more "creative" constructions. This copy comes directly from the stock of Aleph-Bet Books, the firm of Seuss bibliographers Helen Younger and Marc Younger.
