Happy birthday, Dr. Seuss

March 2nd is the birthday of Dr. Seuss. Born in 1904, he would have been 105 today (if he hadn't died in 1991).


Seussville is the official site for his children's books, which are so well-known they don't need mentioning.


But do you know what he did before he started writing for children? Check out his advertising work and his political cartoons written during WWII...

Teachers, want some Seuss-related classroom ideas? For literacy lessons, see this Web English Teacher webpage, while for science, see this lesson on Bartholemew and the Oobleck.

I'll end with my favorite Dr. Seuss quote:

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
