How well do you know Dr.Seuss?

Dr.Seuss is one of my daughters favorite Authors of all time! We have about 15 of his Childrens Books. Did you know it was Dr.Suess‘ Birthday yesterday!? Did you do anything to Celebrate it? We did! We had Green Eggs and Ham (well…bacon) and watched Cat and the Hat!

How cute is this idea, ask your child what their favorite Dr.Seuss book is, and recreate the cover!

Or how about these? Handprint “Thing 1” and “Thing 2” Wouldn’t this be perfect for Twins!?

What are some of your Favorite Dr.Seuss Books?

Here are our top 5:

Jaiden got Happy Birthday to You by Dr.Seuss for her 2nd Birthday, and she still ask’s to read it about once a week!

The Lorax. A classic! Once Jaiden read this one she ran around outside for weeks telling everyone she “Spoke for the Trees” haha!

Green Eggs and Ham, another classic Dr.Seuss. Every time we read this for a bedtime story, Jaiden insists I dye her eggs green in the morning.

One fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish was my personal favorite when I was a kid!

Perhaps the most popular, The Cat in the Hat is ranked #1 in this house, what about yours?
