Every year, the first week of March is designated as Read Across America Week in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, which is March 2. All across the country, students in classrooms from Kindergarten all the way through high school learn about Dr. Seuss and read.
Dr. Theodor Seuss Geisel was born March 2, 1904. He would have been 112 years old this year. Geisel began his career as a cartoonist, a skill at which he was obviously adept considering he illustrated all 44 of the children’s books that were published under the name Dr. Seuss.
In 1937, after 27 rejections, he entered the profession of children’s literature with And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street, a book that is not as well-known as The Cat in the Hat. His books have been the building blocks upon which children have learned to read for almost 80 years. With 44 from which to choose, and all of which are good, it is not easy to pick just ten. Some of the titles on this list are repeats, but we did try to include a few different titles, just in case we missed your favorite last year. As always, if there is a title you think should have been included, please share it with us in the comments below.
