Theme If I Ran the Zoo

Dr. Seuss's "If I Ran the Zoo" book is also the main theme for one of the children's play areas at Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure. The small play area is located inside the area of the park known as Seuss Landing, and is themed in the Seussean way Dr. Seuss is famous for.

This could be a reference to his father running the forest park zoo in his hometown, Springfield, Massachusetts.
