Dr. Seuss isn't just for beginning readers. Oh, the Place You'll Go remains a top seller for graduation gifts, be it for middle school stepping up ceremonies, high school graduations, or college commencements. Dr. Seuss's birthday on March 2nd is the traditional kick-off for Read Across America. Since 1997, schools and libraries across the nation have adopted this celebration to spur children young and old to pick up a book and read, read, read.
Whether you're reading aloud to your tots, following along as they sound out the tongue-twisting rhymes, or settling them in bed with a book before lights out, Dr. Seuss is a classic pick. Elizabeth Kennedy, Guide to Children's Books, has written a great article on Dr. Seuss picture books, beginning readers, and all-around fan favorites.
If you're looking for something a bit more...celebratory, the Guide to Entertaining Donna Pilato offers a whimsical Dr. Seuss-themed party. Your kids can also play Seuss-inspired games on Seussville.com, says the Guide to Family Internet. And for tasty fun in the kitchen, check out this review of the Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook.
