&gt;&gt; Horton Hears a Who! In the jungle of Nool, Horton the elephant hears a noise. He follows the sound, and initially finds no one, except for a speck of dust. He believes there is certainly a small person, or perhaps even a family of small persons, on the speck, who must be saved from the kangaroos, monkeys, and eagles in the jungle. Find out what Horton discovers when he puts his ear closer to the speck, and remarks, &lsquo;a person&rsquo;s a person, no matter how small&rsquo;.

&gt;&gt; Green Eggs and Ham: Sam-I-Am wants the protagonist to try green eggs and ham, but the protagonist refuses it. Sam-I-Am continues to make several attempts at offering the dish, with new ideas like eating at different locations or with different animals. The protagonist rejects them all: &ldquo;Not in a box, not with a fox, not in a house, not with a mouse.&rdquo; The book is an endearing adventure about the joy of trying new things.

&gt;&gt; The Secret Darker Art of Dr Seuss: Apart from giving us whimsical rhymes, Dr Seuss also illustrated his books. He began as a cartoonist for magazines in the 1920s. By the 1930s, he had begun illustrating books for children. Interestingly, one can find many of his characters appearing in political cartoons, taking on new meanings in new settings. Stylistically unique, Dr Seuss&rsquo;s characters are easily identifiable, whether they appear in an advertisement, such as for Ford or General Electric, or in a picture book.

In the video, we&rsquo;re introduced to their simple round faces with intricate crosshatching on their clothes and fur. The most fascinating moment in the video, however, is the discovery of Dr Seuss&rsquo;s secret Midnight Paintings, which were released only after his death. Radically different from his cartoons, they use darker ideas and landscapes. For example, the famous cat in the hat turns into The Cat Behind the Hat, depicting the writer&rsquo;s mischievous alter-ego.
