Dr. Suess

HAPPY 108th BIRTHDAY DR. SUESS!

Today is Dr. Suess's birthday (estimated).  
Have you ever read the Dr. Suess books as an adult?


I read a lot of Dr. Suess books last summer (research).  
Dr. Suess is great for kids learning to read, but it also has lots of deeper meaning, which kids might not pick up on.  


Dr. Suess continues to impress and surprise me.  


My favorite Dr. Suess books:
The Lorax

(via)

Oh, the Places You'll Go (maybe that's typical, but it's uplifting nonetheless)

I know The Lorax is coming out in theaters today.  Maybe you don't want to go see the movie, but I highly recommend really reading the book... and thinking about it.


"Think left think right and think low and think high.  Oh, the things you can think up if only you try!"


"Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple"


"You have brains in your head.  You have feet in your shoes.  You can steer yourself in any direction you choose."


"A person's a person, no matter how small."


"From near to far.  From here to there.  Funny things are everywhere."


"You are you.  Now isn't that pleasant?"


"If things start happening, don't worry, don't stew, just go right along and you'll start happening too."


"It's a troublesome world.  All the people who're in it are troubled with troubles almost every minute.  You ought to be thankful, a whole heaping lot, for the places and people you're lucky you're not."


Thank you Dr. Suess!
