My brother, aka Gregory K of Gottabook (best known for his Fibs) also does Oddaptations, which he describes as “Cliff’s Notes/Spark notes of picture books… but with some attitude (and rhyme) thrown in.” Here’s the start of his latest, which I’d describe as something of a Seussian mashup:
HORTON HEARS A WHO

Oddaptation by Gregory K.Every Who down in Who-ville liked Horton a lot,

And Whos on some dust that was too small for mouses.…
More on Gottabook, including the ending one reviewer described as “genius”.
Go, bro!
