Today kicks off the Sequester. (Blech.) But it’s also the kick-off for NEA’s Read Across America Day. (Yay.) So if you’re feeling a little glum, sequester yourself at your local library and read a couple of whimsical Dr. Seuss books to your favorite littlest ones.
Or just read them to yourself. You’re never too old for the Whos down in Whoville. (Who, now that I think about it, were a pretty political group of characters with their bitter butter battles and their anti-commercialism at Christmas and their person’s-a-person-no-matter-how-small rhetoric. Holy Seussical! How did I miss all that?)
Um…I may need to sequester myself in the shower and think for awhile about children’s literature. (Have a Fun Friday, anyway.)
Cathy C. Hall Writes 
“The Sneetches” is also quite pointed. And come to think of it, so is “Yertle the Turtle.” I LOVE Dr. Suess.
I love him, too, Sioux. I love the beats in his writing–MAN, that guy kicked butt with rhymes. (Who knew that was so hard? He made it sound so easy!)
The Lorax has long been my favorite Seuss read on Read Across America Day. It packs a big message in a little story. The kids in my class were so excited yesterday they completely wore me out. š In a good way.
Aw, Suzanne. You almost made me want to get back in a classroom. š
Cathy–I am giving away a copy of “Off the Leash” by Jean Ellen Whatley. I think you would enjoy it. She is brutally honest. It’s a memoir I could not put down.
Leave a comment. You might be a winner (in this little giveaway of mine. We all know you’re a winner in so many other categories. ;).
Ah, the great Seuss! My favorite was always the old standby, Green Eggs and Ham, until after the Jim Carrey version of Grinch came out. Loved the movie, loved the book. š
