Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss
Today is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Theodor Geisel, known the world over by his nom de plume, Dr. Seuss. When I was learning to read, I would canvass the school and public libraries for the latest Seuss book, but they were always checked out. Comics and MAD Magazine were frowned upon, but subversive Seuss was somehow acceptable because his works had a hard cover. Dr. Seuss perfectly melded pithy puns, colorful characters, and ridiculous rhymes to entrance readers of all ages. Thank you, Dr. Seuss, for cultivating the joy of reading in one child long ago.
