Because a Little Bug went Ka-choo



By Rosetta Stone
Copyright 1975


Rosetta Stone, otherwise known as Theodor Geisel, and most commonly known as Dr. Seuss, wrote this humorous tale of cause and effect.

One fine summer morning, a little bug sneezed.  Because of that sneeze, a little seed dropped.  On and on the story goes, with each action causing an even greater effect, eventually leading to the sinking of a boat, and an interrupted circus parade.  The ending is left open, with the assumption that the consequences are still escalating to this day.  

All of our actions have consequences – even the actions of someone small and seemingly insignificant.  This book offers food for thought for readers of all ages.  Our choices affect not only ourselves, but have the potential to snowball with far-reaching consequences.
