Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

"The more that you read,
The more things you will know.
The more that you learn,
The more places you’ll go."
-Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut (1976)

Theodor Geisel, otherwise known as Dr. Seuss and Theo LeSeig was born on March 2, 1904. (That's 105 years ago!) We will be celebrating his contributions to children's literature this week at the library. During Monday and Friday Story Times, we will read In a People House, Hop on Pop, Green Eggs and Ham, and There's a Wocket in my Pocket, followed by a Seuss craft! Wacky Science this week is Seuss Science! On Wednesday, we will read Bartholemew and the Oobleck and then make our own ooey gooey oobleck to take home.
Dr. Seuss easy reader books are excellent for beginning readers. They have a limited vocabulary and have illustrations for each noun and action in the text. Check the wblibrary catalog for E-1 titles by Dr. Seuss or Theo LeSeig, or check out our Seuss display in the Children's Library.
Take time this week to read a Seuss book with your child!
