Tish Rabe and Dr. Seuss - Oh Baby, the Places You'll Go!: A Book to Be Read in Utero

Pros: Concentrated Suess! Great Buy! Wonderful for Baby! TONS of fun to read!

Cons: Not one.

Pros: A great introduction to Dr. Seuss, a very good summary of his works

Cons: You'll have a Green Eggs and Ham lover before the baby is even born
