"I do not like them in a house.

I do not like them with a mouse.

I do not like them here or there.

I do not like them anywhere.

I do not like green eggs and ham.

I do not like them, Sam-I-am."

                                                                    From Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss                    

Today is the birthday of the late Dr. Seuss. 

I am sure that you have probably heard of him before, most Americans have. But did you know that Dr. Seuss isn't actually his name. Dr. Seuss is only his pen name. His actual name is Theodor Seuss Geisel, and he was born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts. 

He was an American author and illustrator, probably most famous for his beginner books, which are filled with his creative and colorful characters. During World War II Dr. Seuss served in the U.S. Army for three years, and after his service ended, he went into the film industry. In 1957 he moved on from the filming industry and he published two of his most famous works: The Cat in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas, both of these books have been made into many film adaptions. Dr. Seuss died at age 87, on September 24, 1991, in La Jolla, California.

Seuss is the author of over 50 books, and while I have not read all of his books, I have read a few of them, which I grew up reading and listening to. 

Here are three of my favorite Dr. Seuss books that I grew up with. 😁

Many of the Dr. Seuss books have been turned into movies or television shows, such as How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Grinch, Horton Hears a Who, The Cat and the Hat, and The Lorax.
