The First of Octember was my favorite Seuss book as a kid!
I really loved the ones he made that leaned into the absurdity. All of his worlds were absurd in some way, but that and To Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street were very focused on the absurd.
I'm so sorry if it seems like I'm gaslighting you, but you legit just unlocked a core memory for me! Thank you!
