"But it's bad for my hat / and it makes my eyebrows / get red hot. / so... / reading with my eyes shut / I don't do an awful lot."
The price of ice? Kangaroo collars? Mississippi? Dr. Seuss tells us we can read about all these things and more, as long as we keep our eyes open! This charming romp through the wonders of reading features the line "The more that you learn, / the more places you'll go," which Seuss would revisit in the 1990 OH, THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!
