On March 2nd, one of the most beloved children’s authors of all time is celebrated on his birthday. Not only does this day commemorate Dr. Seuss’s birthday, but it also goes hand in hand with the National Education Association’s “Read Across America” Day. It is a wonderful opportunity to take some time out of our day and read to our children.
