A few years ago, I had an opportunity to work in an elementary school library. I always felt a lot of excitement when the month of March approached. Some of you may know that Dr. Seuss (also know as Ted Geisel) is synonymous with reading as far as elementary schools are concerned. As a matter of fact Read Across America Day coincides with Dr. Seuss’ birthday on March 2.
Each year the National Education Association promotes the nation’s largest reading celebration on Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Most schools plan some type of reading event during the period. In my small school we would decorate the library with everything we could find about Dr. Seuss. I would bring in my collection of stuff dolls, Sam I Am, The Grinch and others along with of my personal collection of Dr. Seuss books. My greatest enjoyment was opening a Dr. Seuss book to read to the young students who sat patiently listening and appeared to be hypnotized.
The dozens of books by Dr. Seuss continue to be popular with both the young and old. The rhyming words as well as the pictures of the unforgettable characters all contributed to the success of the author and cartoonist, Dr. Seuss.
The book, The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss, contains some of the art work of Ted Geisel created for his own pleasure . This book along with other art books, art exhibition catalogs and magazine back issues can be found at Nella’s Books and Collectibles.
