Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Springfield Museums, Springfield, MA

The birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel (commonly known to all of us as Dr. Seuss) is celebrated across our country on March 2nd!  He was born in Springfield, MA on March 2, 1904.  Seuss was his mother's maiden name.  There are so many wonderful stories that he wrote and illustrated for children of all ages.  Many of us have a favorite or two of his books.  One of my favorites is Green Eggs and Ham.

On the grounds of the Springfield Museums in Springfield, MA there are large beautiful bronze statues of characters in his books.  It's always a treat to walk around these statues!  The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum is an interesting museum located at this beautiful complex of art, science and history museums.

Walking onto the grounds The Lorax greets visitors.

Looking across the grass more bronze statues are in view.  Walking in the garden brings them all closer.

Another favorite to admire- Horton!

Today is a special day!  

It's March 2!!
We wish you,
Dr. Seuss,
a Happy Birthday!!!
 
Thank you for all of your interesting books!
