Everything Dr. Seuss for the last week: I had such fun reading at a local elementary school to celebrate Dr. Seuss' March 2 birthday. I couldn't help but wonder if this famous author of children's books ever thought his simple, yet carefully ryhmed words would get such attention and ignite a Read-Across-America campaign. Furthermore, did he ever expect his books would lead to box office ticket sales that netted millions? I'm not surprised...the colors are catchy- red, turquoise, and yellow. And, even the red and white striped hat coupled with the tall lanky cat who is rico suave, while remaining kid-friendly, is hard to resist. I admit,the whole 'Seuss Package' is pretty attractive to get kids to stop and listen/read to a book.
The Lorax movie was pretty inventive too. While my grandson informed me that the movie didn't quite match the book 100%, it was entertaining and received a lot of giggles and laughs from the 10 and under audience at the theatre matinee. I liked it too, but found myself more fascinated with the voices of the actors who played the characters- Betty White, Danny DeVito, and Taylor Swift.
