Sanity-destroying cosmic horror can be hard to wrap your head around, so Deviant Artist DrFaustusAu has begun rejiggering H.P. Lovecraft's classic short story as Dr. Seuss book. Now, children of all ages can learn about he who slumbers in his house at R'lyeh.
It's kookily impressive, and we're jazzed to see the artist's further work on it. Hat tip to Exploriens!
Update 11/27: DrFaustusAu has been plenty busy adding pages, and it looks like he's almost done. Check it out! Hat tip to Morris.

I will forever imagine Cthulhu cultists as having bones in their hair.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.
There used to be a similar webcomic called “Hello Cthulhu” that dumped Cthulhu in the world of “Hello Kitty”, with hilarious results. The domain is defunct now, but it looks like you can download the series as a torrent if you are interested.

Don’t need Viking Kitties when you have Hastur, Hastur, Hastur.

Here is a good place to find Faust's other works.
Superb!

You want a true horror... the Hello-Cthulhu website is now selling Viagra.
Another piece of my childhood destroyed.

Thanks! I love a good bed time story.
Somewhere in the dusty corners of our dimly lit basement, ‘neath the cobwebs drear, there lies upon a dusty shelf a sealed carton...one among many such...in which is safely laid up my copy of the Necronomicon.

If the kids won't sit still for the book, you can just read them this poem, preferably at bedtime:
That is not dead
(Tra-la-la!)
Which can eternal lie
(Hie-Dee-Hoe!)
And with strange aeons
(Fa-la-la-la-lee!)
Even death may die.
And what did you see on Mulberry Street?
(I saw Cthulhu, Last of the Old Ones, Rising From His Death-like Sleep in the Sunken City of R'Lyeh to Feast Upon the Souls of Men.)
