happy birthday dr. seuss

Today is Dr. Seuss' birthday. To celebrate D's school served Green Eggs and Ham for lunch. Our local library had a Read-A-Thon where the older kids read to the younger kids and then had a birthday cake. When I arrived to pick up D from the festivities I found the Librarian and assorted helpers picking cake out of the carpet while the Children's Librarian was reshelving stacks and stacks of books. I assume this means it was a successful event.

Later in the week will be a Read-in-the-hall event at school. For an entire afternoon teachers, students, administration and others will sit in the school hallways reading books. The picture that was in last year's paper was really sweet showing kids lining the hallways, noses in a book. Dr. Seuss would have been proud.
