Thanks to MK PM Danielle Moore for the biographical info and the links!
Dr. Seuss was born March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. His 44 children's books have thrilled many children throughout the years with imaginative characters and tongue-twisting rhymes. His books have been translated into more than 15 languages and sold more than 200 million copies.
And, you can celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday at these Beaver County libraries in February and March! These story times will also be listed in This Week's Picks and Plan Ahead in the weeks to come. Click the picture to enlarge.
To celebrate the birthday of such a famous author, here are some fun activities:
Cat in the Hat dot to dot (printable--includes numbers 1 to 78)
Can you match the Dr. Seuss character with the name (on screen, takes a bit to load the graphics.)
Cat in the Hat Coloring Page (Make sure you change your printer setting so it prints on one page.)
Literature Activity Guide for the Sneetches (Some great ideas for book discussion.)
Dr. Seuss Word Search Puzzle (Includes names of characters. Best suited to a child who is reading well.)
