Happy birthday! What a brilliant person-wonder if anyone quite that way will ever occur again in future populations? Believe it or not, I didn't read his books until I was an adult. My parents had no kid's books in the house and didn't do "baby" things, so I missed all the kid books and movies. I read them and watched them with my son in just as much rapt excitement to finally catch up on the "kid" things.
Yes! Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! I wonder if he had any idea how many hours we would spend reading and re-reading his books...so many hours that we memorized some books! lol... I still love reading them and I'm 54 yo...
A house is not a home without at least a dozen or so Suess books. A complete set is preferable though. I had no idea it was his birthday until I read my daughter's school menu yesterday -- naturally they served green eggs and ham.
I adore Dr. Seuss! I remember reading those books to my little brother, and then to my own kids. I had One Fish, Two Fish memorized at one point. LOL! What a great guy he was. :) xo Pam
Love Dr. Seuess! My daughter just saw the Seuessical with her theatre appreciation class! My fav is Horton~"A person's a person no matter how small!" And of course, the Lorax! *sigh* love the Lorax!!!
He gets smarter the older I get!!! Pure genuis and made my childhood full of fun and whimsy...although there were a few critters that I thought were very naughty!!

His Birthday Beaunificent!
I'd buy those Suess books in a store.
ReplyDeleteI'd read them to two kids (or more!)
I'd read them - EVERY SINGLE PAGE!
I'd read Suess books at ANY age!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR. S.! And thanks for giving the world such joy!
