I still find myself drawn to those timeless classics! It's a huge treat to share books from your childhood with your own children.

We're having green eggs and ham tonight.

Thank you Doc!
Happy birthday, Sam and Ham
and Vam and Wham and Zam and Cam!
And happy birthday Dr. Seuss!
My personal favorite is "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish". . . read it to my daughter last night, in fact.
I love the sad and glad and very, very bad lines. (With the pictures)
Dr. Seuss, the Poetry Santa, gives gifts of poetry and rhythm to every child.
I could not trust a person who did not love Dr. Seuss. Happy belated birthday, Dr. Giesel!
Ooh I love Dr Suess! I used to love babysitting just because it gave me an excuse to read them...I love Old Hat New Hat
Old Hat New Hat, Red Hat Blue Hat,
Short Hat Tall Hat, Big Hat Small Hat...
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
I loved Doctor Suess too. Happy birthday. Thanks for bringing me joy in my younger days.

Not only did the good Dr. help me to learn to read, I believe he helped me develop an odd sense of humor and deep appreciation of meaningful silliness AND he developed my skill of memorizing text. I knew Green Eggs and Ham by heart when I was five. We miss you, Dr. There'll never be another Yuw.

Oh, jeez! Dr. Suess! Love that man! Happy b-day! ^^
My first books, of course.
The elementary schools in the small town where I grew up in Colorado served green eggs and ham in the cafeteria in honor of the birthday.Originally Posted by motherhubbard
a Toast for Dr Seuss! *raises a glass*
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
