In my world, Dr. Suess is the king of Children's Literature. However, there are some children's books that compete with the biggest titles in Literature: The Little Prince, I'll Love You Forever, and The Very Hungary Caterpillar. The simplicity and the illustrations let your mind loose on some very big themes. Just as powerful, they can put a smile on your face.
I mean I think everyone has had those days where they are so hungry they eat one piece of chocolate cake, one ice cream cone, one pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake and one slice of watermelon. That resulted in a stomach ache.
Okay, well maybe it's not the most eloquent prose ever written, but you can't help but smile at this fat ass Caterpillar eating all the damn food.
