    About this ebook

    Have you ever wondered what Dr. Seuss might have said, had he lived in these modern times? This book explores our most pressing issues through the rhyming style that Dr. Seuss made famous all those years ago. From climate change, to overpopulation, to pornography on the Internet, this book covers even the most controversial topics in a way that is fun, and insightful. Forget the kids, this is a fun book for adults about the grown-up world and societal issues we care about, and even some of those that we will start caring about once we finish reading.

    Derek Turner

    Derek Turner was born in Abbotsford, British Columbia Canada. After writing his first 2 novels while obtaining a Business Administration degree from Simon Fraser, Derek wrote his first non-fiction book relating to the lessons he learned growing up regarding being successful and happy in life. Derek has a flare for being creative and unique. Whether it is his murder mystery sci-fi adventure novel Planetary Police Force, or the silly spoof Amazing Adventures of Victor Clarence, or his latest rhyming poetry books, Derek's works are unlike any books you have ever read.
