Dr. Seuss was born over 100 years ago, but he lives on in our hearts--and bookshelves.

In the whimsical world of beloved Dr. Seuss Live an elephant (faithful), a big-hearted moose, And creatures, the wildest that you ever saw, A grinch with a heart that's three sizes too small, A bustard, a lorax (he speaks for the trees), And prejudiced sneetches, with stars, if you please; There are five hundred hats and a cat who wears one, A circus and zoo that are oodles of fun, And oobleck (be careful for what things you wish), Green eggs (you will like them) and colorful fish, And wonderful places like Solla Sollew, All dreamt by the Doctor for dreamers like you.

Well done. Ted made reading fun for generations of children. But did you know his work was political and always had a message for adults as well?

I grew up with Dr. Suess and the Cat in the Hat Book series. He will be missed, but his works will forever live in the young at heart. Susan

This was fun and brought back memories...and I got to tell you that I envy you to a degree, I would love to walk more though my back would scream in pain and I would be out of breath in a hundred yards, but every now and then I still try...If I had someone to walk with it might be easier, other than my dog who is not very helpful, he stops when I stop...;-) Ed
