Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
Friday was the late author's birthday, explains this Patch blogger. Always efficient with words, books such as the Cat in the Hats speak to Seuss' genius.
Happy Dr. Seuss Day. Today is his birthday (as near as we all can tell). March 2, 1904 – September 24, 1991. Fascinating career.
Did you know he wrote Cat in the Hat in response to a Life magazine article and a challenge? The article explained the kids of the day were not learning or reading because all of the current books were boring. Then some guy at a publishing house created a list of 348 words he thought were important for 1st-graders to know and asked Dr. Seuss to trim it down and make a book.
He did with only 236 words.
So many great books. Which one is your fav?
Sincerely,
Scott Seitz
