Is It Time to Shelve Classic Books By Authors Like Dr. Seuss Get our free mobile app As a certified preschool teacher for over a decade, one of my greatest joys was reading books to the classroom kids aloud. My teenage children will cringe when they see this, but I still read 'Winnie the Pooh' aloud to them to this day. There are books that I can read aloud to you right now without even having the book in my hand. ' Where the Wild Things Are' and ' The Cat and the Hat' are two that come to mind instantly. I've read them aloud so much I have them down to memory.
