Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

March 2 is the birthday of Dr. Seuss ~ Celebrate by reading to a child. Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel) wrote 44 childrens books that have been translated into 15 languages. He won 2 Academy Awards, 2 Emmy Awards, the Peabody Award and a Pulitzer.

Many of Geisel's books express his views on a remarkable variety of social and political issues: The Lorax (1971), about environmentalism and anti-consumerism; The Sneetches (1961), about racial equality; The Butter Battle Book (1984), about the arms race; Yertle the Turtle (1958), about Hitler and anti-authoritarianism; How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1957), criticizing the materialism and consumerism of the Christmas season; and Horton Hears a Who! (1950), about anti-isolationism and internationalism.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.
