Seussville

I spent quite a good deal of time on the official Seuss website, www.seussville.com, to learn more about it and eventually write a review. I found the website very entertaining and think a child would be even more so entertained. In the "Playground" section of the website, there are interactive games that are simply pure fun or have an educational purpose as well (for example, the Fox in Socks game teaches reading and simple vocabulary). There is also a biography of Dr. Seuss, which helps explain a lot about how he came up with his creatures, the color choice, his story line inspirations, etc. It was fun to read about him and his mischevious childhood. The colors were the same as his books, basic and simple, appealling to children. The music was enchanting, although after too many plays it would probably become repetitive. I think the website would be very appropriate for young and old readers alike.
