Theodor Seuss Geisel: March 2, 1904 – September 24, 1991

Today, March 2^nd is the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr Seuss, author of over 40 children’s books.

While several of the Dr Seuss books were published before I was born, and many others published during my childhood, I have no recollection of meeting them prior to my years as teacher and parent. Fortunately those two roles provided me ample opportunity to catch up on the delights that I had previously missed.

I even apologised to Dr. Seuss in a previous post for leaning heavily on his book Green Eggs and Ham when writing about my relationship with exercise.  Click on Ode to Exercise to read my poem.

You could celebrate his birthday by checking out the fun stuff and information on his author site seussville.com
