When one night the funny name "Batholomew Cubbins" erupted in my mind, I suddenly remembered that wonderful book by Dr. Seuss my mom read to me when I was little. It took me to order. And I am not disappointed! on the contrary. The mischievous humor and intelligence of the author, not to mention the wonderful drawings are still intact! It is for children but also for adults which I warmly recommend READ TO CHILDREN!
