Dr. Seuss' Birthday: 106 Years and Still Being Read

Most people don't like green eggs and ham. Do you? Perhaps, today, on Dr. Seuss' birthday, you can make an exception.

March 2nd is the birthday of children's book author Theodore Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. He was born on March 2, 1904 and died on September 24, 1991. March 2, 2010 is Dr. Seuss' 106th birthday.

Parents worldwide should be celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday. He wrote over 60 children's books, including The Cat in the Hat, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, The Lorax, and yes, Green Eggs and Ham. Many have been made into cartoons, movies, and even a Broadway show.

Additionally, March 2 is the annual NEA Read Across America Day. Many schools will be commemorating that day by reading not just anything but Dr. Seuss books.
