Every year on March 2, the nation’s readers mark Ted Geisel’s birthday with “Read Across America.” This year is extra special: it’s the 100th anniversary of the birth of The Man Who Would Be Seuss.
The Seussentennial Imagination Tour, which kicked off January 3, will visit more than 40 cities, with performances, readings, and interactive Imagination Workshops.
Here are some suggestions for ways libraries can participate in the observance.
The National Education Association offers a resource kit on “The Many Hats of Ted Geisel” — teaching materials to help K-12 students learn about the man behind the pseudonym (scroll down to find it; for some reason it’s the last item in the box).
Read the Geisel biography on the Seussville web site.
Finally, watch for the March 2 release of the Theodor Seuss Geisel commemorative U.S. postage stamp.
