Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
Dr. Seuss
Where better to celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday than at the Hagatna Library! After all, it's the place to go to look up books of all kinds, including his. I wish I could have met Dr. Seuss, as I do other famous authors and poets. Somehow, their extraordinary talent for arousing the "reader" in each one is nothing short of awesome!
As I went through the day's event at the library, I noticed that each station included something related to aspects and features of Dr. Seuss's books. The plant station depicted the background setting of plants in his stories, and the hat station involved children and parents in making hats, replicas of the hat worn by the cat in the story, The Cat in the Hat. The food station included cupcakes colored green and just a few feet away, presentations were conducted, such as a DVD showing of Dr. Seuss stories and his latest, "The Lorax," songs, storytelling, and a puppet show.
While I'm way past being a child, I still enjoy reading children's literature, and Dr. Seuss more than did his part in turning readers on to reading. Happy 108th Birthday, Dr. Seuss!!

Hi Geri,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I just wanted to apologize for not being faithful to this blog. Things just got out of hand for me, I am so sorry. I will however try and catch up with you, as you are way ahead of me. Needless to say, I hope I am back on Track...and I hope you accept my apologies.
I'm looking back, and my last post was Dr. Seuss! I can't believe it, I will begin to react to your postings, and then try to post myself.
Esta...senseramente, si Jose.
