The Parables of Dr. Seuss

Author: Robert L. Short
Publisher: Westminster John Knox Press
Category: Religion: General, Bibles, Christian Theology, Christian Life & Practice, Christian Ministry & Pastoral Activity
Book Format: Paperback

This breezy and engaging book will delight the Dr. Seuss fan in all of us. Robert Short looks at spirituality in the stories of children's book author and illustrator Theodore Dr. Seuss Geisel, arguing that Geisel was a first-class Christian thinker. The book explores Green Eggs and Ham, Horton Hears a Who, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and others. Short writes in the introduction, When I first became acquainted with his books and was struck by the many parallels I saw between his work and what is said in the Bible and by Christian faith, I considered these similarities to be merely 'happy accidents.' Today I still see these parallels as 'happy,' but I'm now convinced that they are not merely 'accidents.'
