Why Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

We love Dr. Seuss in this household! And we are planning on reading several Dr. Seuss books today in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday and National Read Across America Day. Only we are partied out from the Mardi Gras parade yesterday, so we plan to celebrate here at home.

So here are some of our favorite Dr. Seuss books we will be reading together today:

1. The Lorax

8. I Can Read With My Eyes Shut

We also might watch a movie together as a family if there is time. 

Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears A Who!

Or maybe we will watch some:

The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That

We happen to really enjoy watching this show! The songs get stuck in my head a lot!

And we might make some crafts. Make our own drawings of Dr. Seuss characters. Like the Cat, the Lorax and Horton.
