Are you prepared to celebrate the birthday of Theodor Geisel, do it with these cute and easy Dr. Seuss treats. They are perfect treats for sharing in school!
Dr. Seuss passed away in 1991 at age 87, but kids all over still enjoy to read and use their imaginations with his unforgettable characters and rhymes.
D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read)
That is also why the National Education Association created National Read Across America Day – a nationwide reading celebration that takes place annually on March 2. – in honor of Dr. Seuss birthday.
In my kids school it is a tradition to dress up as a beloved character from Dr. Seuss’s universe and honor him by D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read)!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
| If we didn’t have birthdays, you wouldn’t be you. If you’d never been born, well then what would you do? If you’d never been born, well then what would you be? You might be a fish! Or a toad in a tree! You might be a doorknob! Or three baked potatoes! You might be a bag full of hard green tomatoes. |
Or worse than all that… Why, you might be a WASN’T! A Wasn’t has no fun at all. No, he doesn’t.A Wasn’t just isn’t. He just isn’t present. But you… You ARE YOU! And, now isn’t that pleasant! |
