Wow. This was bad. I had never read any of Dr. Seuss's writings and decided to started with this famous book. Reading this as an adult, I must say that it was just awful. I'm not sure if it is the writing or the tone. I am glad that I didn't read this as a child, this felt more like a confusing, horrific story than anything else. This story would probably scare me as a child rather than teach me anything. As for the question at the end, there isn't a right answer. If you were to tell your parents what happened, they would assume that you are lying and if you tell them that nothing happened, then you would be lying to yourself.
