I know I loved them as a young child. I drove my mother crazy with the books when we'd go to the public library (she had to read them to me and found the words in the rhymes sometimes complex). I never really had a collection of the good Dr's books when I was little so I had to make do with library books. I agree with alvina. A lot of people who grew up with his books will probably buy them. Of course even when a child has grown a bit and is reading more complex stories they might still harbor a hidden love for the good Dr's books, and being able to carry them round on an ereader will be a plus for such kids who fear being caught reading a book that is for 'babies.'
