Goodbye Dick and Jane, Hello...
THE CAT IN THE HAT
"I think I had something to do with kicking Dick and Jane out of the school system. I think I proved to a number of million kids that reading is not a disagreeable task. And without talking about teaching, I think I have helped kids laugh in schools as well as home. That’s about enough, isn’t it?"
