Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!


Dr. Seuss was born on March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. His real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel. He worked in advertising and as a cartoonist for newspapers before beginning his career as an author and illustrator of children's books.

I've enjoyed many Dr Seuss books, but my favorite is The Lorax. I enjoy this story because it delivers an important message about protecting the environment in a way that incorporates the rhyming pattens and nonsense words that characterize Dr Seuss' style of writing.
Visit Seussville to interact with all things "seussical." There are lots of games and activities to try. You need to choose if your computer is high bandwidth or low bandwidth to enter the site. You can also turn the music off if you work better without noise.
I hope you have "lots of good fun that is funny."

  1. My fav book is: And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street. I read about his life and found out that was his first book ever. I thought it was cat in the hat.
