  The manuscript was discovered after Dr. Seuss died. The book is about celebrating art and how we see the world differently. Not only that, but even a Picasso piece of art is part of the book. In Indonesia, children in many generations love to read the “Kancil” book collection.

  WOW!
  Tara,

  This week’s audio news report is so difficult and I couldn’t understand the subject without seeing the text.

  I listened to the news many times and heard only these words:

  discovered, new story, children, Dr.seuss, this fall, after he died, Australian, is duty, photograph, in addition, real force, finished, celebrate, real peace, mother, as a hobby.

  In addition, I could fill in the blanks the words:
  Australian, celebrates and pieces.

  Because of being the so difficult text, I cannot present my opinion about the subject now and then I should study it carefully again and again.

  Thank you so much.

  Best wishes and have a wonderful week in nice Canada,
