Today is Dr. Seuss' birthday. Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, was born March 2, 1904. If he was still with us he would be 105 years old. Mr. Geisel passed away on September 24, 1991. He was a prolific author and changed the way educators thought about, and taught, reading and literature for children. Like many, his books shaped the memories of my childhood. Thank you Dr. Seuss!
