I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my favorite author !!

And now my favorite passage from One fish, Two fish, Red fish, Blue fish:

My hat is old.
My teeth are gold.
I have a bird I like to hold.
My shoe is off.
My foot is cold.

My shoe is off.
My foot is cold.
I have a bird I like to hold.
My hat is old.
My teeth are gold.
And now my story is all told.


If you get a chance today, read to a child. Preferably a Dr. Seuss book

I heart Dr. Seuss.

I just returned from a birthday party in his honor @ my son's kindergarten class! They had a theater group doing parts from Suessical! The kids made hats( red and white) and Horton ears.....

If we didn't have birthdays, you wouldn't be you.
If you'd never been born, well then what would you do?
If you'd never been born, well then what would you be?
You might be a fish! Or a toad in a tree!
You might be a doorknob! Or three baked potatoes!
You might be a bag full of hard green tomatoes!
Or worse than all that.....
Why you might be a WASN'T.
A Wasn't has no fun at all. No he doesn't.
A Wasn't just isn't. He just isn't present.
But you..... You ARE YOU!
And now isn't that pleasant?

--Dr Seuss
