The Guardian wrote a great piece about Why Dr Seuss continues to charm America.

• Adaptations of the Doctor's work are consistently doing well in the US market
• The Grinch and Horton both placed in the top 10 of the American charts in their respective years, too.
• He's been at the centre of literacy efforts in the country since 1998 – the annual Read Across America Day takes place on or near what would have been his birthday (he died in 1991) on 2 March.
• There's a massive grassroots marketing campaign already in place – and the Seuss estate has stepped up the pace and the purposefulness of the adaptation treadmill over the last decade.
• The personal branding is front and centre these days: the full title is Dr Seuss's Horton Hears a Who!, and ditto for Dr Seuss's The Lorax.
