ZeMarvelous Miraculous Magic of Dr. Seuss

Scrambled Eggs & Blueberry Bumplings!

Like a lot of humans, zebras begin to discover the pleasures of reading and cooking when we’re very young.

And even before we have close encounters with books and words and kitchens and ingredients, we’ve explored deep within that special place where both reading and cooking come from.

One human who knew everything there is to know about magic and imagination was the legendary Dr. Seuss.

It turns out that the voyage into the world of woks is deliciously vast and exciting.

But Elle cooked up a special way for technology to bring us together.
