I loved reading Berenstain bears books as a child. The books are visual and colorful, which are important to children---especially, deaf children... I often found how much I could related to the stories. While my sisters loved Dr. Seuss, I preferred this. I never understood Dr. Seuss books until I was much older.
Chrissy,
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, I was very much into Dr. Seuss when I was young. I will make sure to read Berenstain books to my daughter.
It probably had a lot to do with rhymes, which children with normal hearing enjoy listening to. Rhymes made no sense to me when I was a kid, so reading Dr. Seuss was not on my list. I think that makes sense because the child is being exposed based on his five senses.
