Freebie Friday - Celebrate Dr. Seuss's Birthday

If your house is like mine was, your children's library included Dr. Seuss books. My children had several which were favorite bedtime reads. In fact, I read them so many times that I can still recite Green Eggs and Ham, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and The Foot Book almost verbatim. Anyone else? His books have opened the door into beginning reading for many children with his clever rhyming patterns, silly characters and fun and simple story lines.
