Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

 
 
 
 
 
March 2 is almost here.   Kids everywhere are going to celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday but reading books and eatting green eggs and ham.    My youngst daughter recently had to do a book report on Theodor Geisel aka Dr. Seuss.   His  first book was And to Think That  I Saw It on Mulberry Street,   based on an imaginary parade when on a street  had in his boyhood town.   Almost 30 publishers rejected his book.  He was so discouraged that he almost gave up writing.. Can you imagine?  I am so grateful he did not give up and become one of the favorite authors of children and adults everywhere.

Across blogland I have found several tributes to Dr. Seuss that you can easily do in honor of March 2.
