Dr. Seuss Day

Posted on by Sandee

Today we are going to celebrate Dr. Seuss Day. This is even happier than the usual Happy Tuesday. Who doesn’t love Dr. Seuss?

Held annually on March 2nd, Dr. Seuss Day is a holiday that celebrates the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel – otherwise known by the pen name by which he authored children’s books: Dr. Seuss. During the 1990s, the National Education Association advocated for a day to celebrate reading all over the United States. In 1998, it started Read Across America and decided to hold it on the same day as Dr. Seuss’ birthday.

Your hosts this year are:

    The wonderful Dr Seuss! It’s so good to have this day celebrated. Apparently some schools in the UK are banning Dr Seuss for ‘racial undertones’ and lack of diversity in the characters 🙁
    I think the characters & stories and quotes are wonderful, and a great way to get kids interested in reading while being loved by adults too.

    Happy Dr Seuss Day, Sandee xx

    Seymour’s contribution to this day was something like “Doctors are red, Seuss’s are blue, Element sez that I screwed that up too…PHFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT!” Alexa just face palmed for the first time.

      I was in tears this morning when I got up and no comments were allowed. That wasn’t the only issue, but it was the most frustrating. I’m so glad you came back honey. Love and hugs. 🙂

    How sad that on Dr. Seuss Day we learn that he is being accused of being racist and insensitive. The “woke” culture will cancel anyone.

  14. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube. All in all I'm a thoroughly Modern Cat; a cat of the 21st century, mew might say. My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.

    UP says:

    These people won’t be happy until our entire culture is erased. I’m not a big fan of Dr. Seuss for other reasons, mostly because he teaches kids to disobey and lie about it. But I don’t think he was a racist by any stretch of the imagination. They’re pretty much harmless books
