Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! | Literacy & Books
Today we celebrate Dr. Seuss' 105th birthday. It was March 2nd, 1904 that Theodor Seuss Geisel was born in Springfield, Massachusetts.
While most commonly known for the more than 60 children's books he wrote, "Dr." Seuss also drew more than 400 political cartoons for a New York daily newspaper during World War II. Eventually he designed and illustrated posters to support the war effort, and joined the U.S. Army where he was the leader of the animation department.
However, it was his children's books, filled with rhyme and fanciful characters, that have helped beginning readers and have been enjoyed by families for generations.
