Most likely your kids will be celebrating the birthday of Dr. Seuss sometime this week at school. So, maybe you should know a few facts about the good old Seuss. His real name is actually Theodore Seuss Geisel. The "Doctor" in his pen name supposedly came from the unfulfilled hopes that his father had for him...graduating from Oxford with a doctorate. He was born on March 2nd, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Although known mostly for his many children's books, Seuss also was a cartoonist and political cartoonist during WWII. Seuss is known mainly for the imaginative characters, rhyme and the trisyllabic meter he often used in his books. Seuss is a highly celebrated author and deserves to be remembered on his birthday! If you would like your kids to be able to explore Dr. Seuss outside of the books, send them to Seussville to play games with some of the Dr. Seuss characters.
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
