Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

All about Dr. Seuss from Seussville

Dr. Seuss Video Click Here

No matter what shape…
No matter what size…
Step in the library…
And give your spirit a rise!

Read a Seuss book…
Read one I say…
Then read another…and another…
And another all day.

Read  Seuss books…
From morn until night.
Go to bed late
And get up all bright.

Read them…and read them…
And read them some more.
And you will be happy
As never before.
 
Tony L. Pope, 2007
