More Seuss 4 U

Crafty Gal and Aggie McPooch continue celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday (March 2) by featuring some classic Seuss reading in the Library's early literacy programs.  Take a look at those wonderful crafts!  We don't call her Crafty Gal for nothing.

This week's early literacy video blog (vlog) delivers the details.

Since we like Dr. Seuss, too, we thought we'd promote some Seuss ourselves.

The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss

While casually discussing all this Seuss-festing, a colleague suggested Go, Dog. Go!, but Crafty Gal corrected the error--that book was written by P.D. Eastman in 1961--but it's still a great early literacy read.  We've got a book trailer, as you probably already suspected.

We like Crafty Gal's new look, by the way.  It's a keeper, I'd venture.

P.S.  On March 5, 2011, Monroe County Public Library (in Bloomington, Indiana) celebrated Dr. Seuss with "Seusspicious Behavior."  Clever title! Minions, take note.  Here was MCPL's promo trailer.

Sock It To Seuss!

When Scowl-Face was struggling through his formative years, the phrase Sock it to me! was the cat's PJs, thanks to the television series Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (1967-1973).  (I, of course, would say sock it to moi, if I were to say anything that stupid.)  Since today (March 2) would have been the 109th birthday of Dr. Seuss (1904-1991), Crafty Gal is socking it to Seuss, like so:

Cat in the Hat socks are the real cat's pajamas, I'd venture.  You can't tell from these photos, but Crafty Gal was also wearing a Cat in the Hat t-shirt. Naturally, we have a video of that.

Today the MPL Youth Services Department is creating Seuss-related crafts with our young patrons and their caregivers.  The first 10 kids who make crafts win Seuss stuff like that bag on the left (in the video).  "Seuss swag!" says Crafty Gal.  Yours for the making, if you drop by the Library.

P.S. Poor Judy Carne. She was the "sock it to me" girl for years on Laugh-In. Still, it could have been worse. She had been married to Burt Reynolds (1963-1965). (Kidding!)

 

Celebrate Dr. Seuss at MPL

Saturday, March 2 is Dr. Seuss' birthday.  Human parents, bring your kiddies to the Library to make fun Seuss-themed crafts.  We will be celebrating all day (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.)

March 2

The Cat in the Hat is one of my personal favorite Dr. Seuss stories.  It will be read by people and kitties alike for millennia to come.  Visit Seussville on the Internet for lots of fun stuff about the good doctor.

Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel, March 2, 1904-Sept. 24, 1991) would probably be a bit embarrassed by all this hoopla directed toward him, but I bet he'd be pleased, too, deep down.
