Happy Seuss Day!

primsongIt is the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel, aka Dr. Suess - which in my case means I get to give a presentation about his life to the first and second grade classes about an hour from now. I wrote up a biography for him at about their level of understanding and get to do a Q & A on him and his life. What an interesting man he was. :-)
My favorite thing was the way he kept a closet full of crazy hats in the observatory he used for a studio. Whenever writers block loomed, he would put on a silly hat to get back in the mood. That and how cranky he would get when well-meaning printers would "correct" his colors to make the trees green instead of pink, etc... Heh.
Wear a bow tie and read a few rhyming tongue-twisters today. Enjoy!

Re: Happy Birthday! St. Seuss
Date: 2006-03-02 06:05 pm (UTC)I must say this is one of the more interesting verses I've ever read!
I wish I could have had the time to read some of his tales to them, even though they've all heard them before they're always fun to read again. So much to talk about and the kids were fascinated - I'd love to be able to "do" authors this way more often.
