    Could it be that long?
    Will it be 50 years
    Since Dr. Seuss brought out
    That feline in head gear?

    Theodore Geisel
    Took his pen name from Mum
    And met with a challenge
    To write primers less dumb.

    In honor of Seuss,
    We celebrate reading.
    That endeavor turns 10
    With no signs of ceding.

    So we've dipped in the Buzz,
    Checked out a few lists,
    To rank the best-loved books.
    Tell us. What did we miss?
