(UNDATED) What do the Good Samaritan and “Green Eggs and Ham” have in common? They’re both parables that explain divine truth, according to Robert Short, a retired Presbyterian minister in Little Rock, Ark., and author of “The Parables of Dr. Seuss.”
“In this book I tend to argue that Ted Geisel (Dr. Seuss) was a first-class Christian thinker and that this thinking was intentionally made part of the literary and artistic work he has given us,” Short says in the introduction.
