Occasionally in a physics lab or the like, we’ll be working with a problem with, say, an inner radius called “r” and an outer radius “R”. So you end up talking a lot about “Big R” and “little r”, and I always have to stop myself from continuing “What begins with R?”.
From the Alphabet Book, of course.

When you say “Dr. Seuss books”, you must clarify what this means. Dr Seuss books could mean books under his name and/or books under the pen name Theo Lesig and/or “I Can Read Books” by various authors; yet, published under the “Cat in the Hat” logo.
By the way…when reading “Fox in Socks” aloud, use extreme caution! 
Well, I would like to know any books under any pen name of Geisl that are not worth owning.

Nitpick: “I Can Read” is the name used for beginning readers published by HarperCollins. Random House’s line of beginner books is, um, “Beginner Books.” You’re probably confusing the two because of Beginner Books’s logo, which depicts the Cat in the Hat and the words “I can read it all by myself.” (Dr. Seuss was the president of Beginner Books, incidentially.)

Thanks for the clarification and the explanation of Dr. Seuss’ role in this. Also, it is quite ironic that Dr. Seuss should climb to such heights as, 22 publishers rejected his first book and he almost gave up, as I heard it. Hopefully, he taught publishers of that era a thing or two by becoming their competition!

McElligot’s Pool and If I Ran the Circus just seem to go on forever, but can still be worth it if you’re in the right mood

Different Strokes, I guess. McElligot’s Pool was a hands-down childhood favorite of mine.
Didn’t Dr. Suess publish a “My Book About Me”?

My tentative answer to that specific query would be “none”.

Indeed, he did- “My Book About Me by Me, Myself- with a little help from Dr. Seuss [“co-author”] and Roy McKie [illustrator]”. The child is encouraged to fill in the book with information about himself. Most of the questions are serious, but some are rather silly in the typical Seuss style- the final question in the book is whether or not you would rather be a giraffe than a human.
