苏斯博士，可以说是二十世纪*受欢迎的儿童图画书作家，在英语世界里，是家喻户晓的人物。他创作的图画书，人物形象鲜明，个性突出，情节夸张荒诞，语言妙趣横生，是半个多世纪以来孩子们的至爱，同时他的书也被教育工作者推荐给家长，作为提高阅读能力的重要读物。
孩子喜欢的古怪精灵的读物，为什么也会受到教师的青昧，被列为学生提高阅读能力的重要读物呢?这与苏斯博士开始创作儿童图画书的背景有关。
二十世纪五十年代，美国教育界反思儿童阅读能力低下的状况，认为一个重要原因就是当时广泛使用的进阶型读物枯燥无味，引不起孩子的兴趣。苏斯博士的BeginnerBooks便应运而生。作为初级阅读资料，这些书力求使用尽可能少的简单词汇，讲述完整的故事。但远远高于过去进阶型读物的，是苏斯博士丰富的想象力、引人入胜的情节和风趣幽默、充满创造力的绘画和语言。
苏斯博士的图画书在讲述有趣故事的同时，更有一个特别的功能，即通过这些故事来使孩子们从兴趣出发轻松地学习英语。从简单的字母，到短语、句子，再到一个个故事，苏斯博士的图画书，亦是一套让孩子们循序渐进掌握英语的优秀读物。例如其中《苏斯博士的ABC》一书，就从英文的二十六个字母入手，将字母和单词配合起来讲解，同时，这些单词又组成了一个个韵味十足的句子，不断重复加深读者对字母的记忆和理解。《一条鱼两条鱼红色的鱼蓝色的鱼》和《在爸爸身上蹦来跳去》也是采取类似的方式进行单词和句子的讲解。《穿袜子的狐狸》则是充满了饶有风趣的绕口令，对诵读者来说是一个充满快乐的挑战。

"Did you everfly a kite in bed? Did you ever walk with ten cats on your head?"Such are the profound, philosophical queries posed in thiswell-loved classic by Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel. While many rhymesin this couplet collection resemble sphinx-worthy riddles, Seuss'sintention is clear: teach children to read in a way that is bothentertaining and educational. It matters little that each wonderfulvignette has nothing to do with the one that follows. (We moveseamlessly from a one-humped Wump and Mister Gump to yellow petscalled the Zeds with one hair upon their heads.) Children todaywill be as entranced by these ridiculous rhymes as they have beensince the book's original publication in 1960--so amused andenchanted, in fact, they may not even notice they are learning toread!
