Dr. Seuss
I just read Dr. Seuss' "And to think that I saw it on Mulberry Street" to Arunav and it left me tongue-tied. Arunav had fun but I felt very sad. I started thinking back of times when I have been stern with Arunav or Aarushi and I was wondering whether I had also squashed their imagination as the father in the book did! Ooh the ending gave my heart a tight squeeze and once again made me think, children are quite priceless and small little wonders which we dont always appreciate enough because we understand so less - but a lot many times we DO or else we wouldnt be writing or appreciating books like these :))
" "Nothing," I said, growing red as a beet, "But a plain horse and wagon on Mulberry Street..." "
The last line that made my eyes feel pricky.
A must read.

Trivia: Realized a lot later that this is the Dr's first children's book!
