Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

Happy B-Day Dr. Seuss!

Wow time flies when you move across country and have a handful of blizzards. Well he said it himself in our favorite book....

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the one who'll decide where you'll go. Oh the places you'll go."Oh, the Places You'll Go! (1990)

“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”


We don't have anything special planned this year. Last year we did some outside activities. Today will be spent wrapping up Olympics and reading about France, a highwire and courage.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

March 2, 2009 is the birthday of Theodore Seuss Geisel aka Dr. Seuss. We didn't learn to read with the good doctor and he was not a favorite of TS's until recently. (The graphics were scary to him as a younger child.) However millions of children have learned to read with Dr. Seuss and his messages are timeless, so I chose to celebrate the day of his birth.

Thank you Dr. Seuss for you creativity and bold story telling.

My all time favorite is The Places You Will Go which has traveled with me for years.

TS's list of "ThankYou to Dr. Seuss":

• Thank you showing me you can always learn to like a new food even if it looks gross (Green Eggs and Ham)
• Thank you for showing me the world is big and fun. (The Places You Will Go)
  
• It's just silly. ( A Wocket In My Pocket)
  

What's your favorite Seuss book?

Oh don't forget all the free Seuss Celebrations.
