You are welcome.

NP here, and actually you are incorrect. The possessive of Seuss is Seuss's (see Elements of Style, by Strunk & White) You are welcome.

Interesting you have such a strong opinion because style books, including the above-cited, side with me.

Strunk & White are the grammar gurus, so it's Seuss's. Despite what Google might tell you.
