“One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish” is an iconic story that breaks down the early reading process through imaginative images and pure fantasy. It celebrates Dr. Seuss’s ability to show us how elemental life can be if we just stop, focus, engage, and laugh. This iconic 60th Anniversary image seems to mark the culmination of Dr. Seuss’s determination, open-mindedness, and willingness to meet challenges head-on.

Dr. Seuss often used “nonsense” as a means to engage with life’s broad range of situations and as a way to break down monumental ideas into simple, digestible truths. Dr. Seuss’s wisdom in One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish is simple: when facing life’s most challenging conundrums, break them down to the elemental and do so with a healthy dose of fun and fantasy. Nonsense always makes perfect sense, whether you are in life’s first decade or you have completed many!

He always believed that “Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.” This indispensable life skill allows us to see what is essential, no matter how big the idea or task. And in the case of Dr. Seuss, it always keeps us laughing as we encounter the many twists and turns in life.
