Photo by Montgomery School MD Beloved children's author Theodor ("Ted") Seuss Geise, aka Dr. Suess, would have celebrated his 105th birthday today! And as anyone who has ever read one of his books knows, he would want you to celebrate today by reading a book to your kids and making up a few wacky crafts.
Dr. Suess' stories are perfect for children, with their loveable characters and nonsensical prose. And more than that, Dr. Seuss had a unique ability to tell stories with a powerful message like taking care of the planet, treating others fairly, and never giving up your dreams ... messages that are as just as appropriate for children as they are for their parents. So tip your hat to Seussy today with one of these great books or crafts:

I love Dr Seuss books. Glad to see Hop on Pop here. Some people discount it, but it has been the first "real" book to read for so many of the kids I taught, it will always have a special place in my heart!
