“‘The Cat in the Hat’ by Dr. Seuss. It was a popular book [when I was] growing up, and I found it very interesting.”

Kevin Ward, Ninth Street and Oregon Avenue

“‘Matilda’ by Roald Dahl. It was grounded but had a bit of fantasy that made you think.”

Kyle O’Connor, East Moyamensing Avenue and Tasker Street

“‘Green Eggs and Ham’ by Dr. Seuss. It was funny and I liked eggs as a child.”

Quaris Carter, Third Street and Snyder Avenue

“‘Clifford the Big Red Dog.’ The stories taught many great lessons, and Clifford grabbed my attention with his huge size and color.”

Julius Davis, 24th and Oakford streets
