Happy 110th Birthday (March 2) -- if Theodor Geisel were alive today. . .

from : Nickeldeon News (www.nick.com/ ) If Dr. Seuss were still alive, he would be celebrating his 110th birthday this weekend. Unfortunately for us, he’s gone. But his timeless books live on — in schools, libraries and homes all over the world. So it’s only fitting that his birthday – March 2 — was chosen to be “Read Across America Day.” This year, March 2 falls on a Sunday. So schools are celebrating Dr. Seuss’ birthday either the week before or the week after – or both. Theodor Geisel was born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts. He wrote 44 “Dr. Seuss” books, including “The Lorax,” “The Cat in the Hat,” “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” “Green Eggs and Ham,” and “Horton Hears a Who.” They have been translated into more than 15 languages and stay in print ( + 200 million copies)! http://news.nick.com/02/2014/28/happy-birthday-dr-seuss/
