2. The style of writing Dr. Seuss used in
his books were-
• Rhyming
• Figurative language
• Imagery
His illustrations are fascinating as he
only draws one human face, however
all his characters look alike with minor
adjustments.
Some hidden message in Dr.
Seuss books..
• The Lorax: recognised as
Dr. Seuss' take on
environmentalism and how
humans are destroying
nature.
• Green eggs and Ham:
Bennett Cerf, Dr. Seuss'
editor, bet him that he
couldn't write a book using
50 words or less.
• Horton hears a who: the
line "A person's a person,
no matter how small," has
been used as a slogan for
pro-life organizations for
years.
