Come over to My House is a 1966 children's book written byDr. Seuss and illustrated byRichard Erdoes. The name "Theo. LeSieg" was a pen name of Theodor Geisel, who is more commonly known by another pen name, Dr. Seuss.
The illustrations portray the various styles of homes that kids from around the world live in along with Seuss's recognizable verse. Throughout the book they also cover what kids eat, how they sleep (Japanese wooden pillows), play (sledding on pine needles), and even clean-up afterwards (Polynesian hot spring).
The book was the 44th in theBeginner Books series, in between B-43:You Will Live Under the Sea (1966) by F. & M. Phleger and B-45:Babar Loses His Crown (1967), byLaurent de Brunhoff.
In 2017, Maria Botelho of theDaily Hampshire Gazette criticized the book's images, despite the fact that Dr. Seuss did not illustrate it.[1] Botelho wrote, "in [the book], the white male protagonist travels from one stereotype about people’s dress and housing to another across the globe".[1]
