National Pancake Day by Gloria Hao Schneider
While yesterday you could visit IHOP for some free pancakes, today the nation is serving up green eggs and ham for breakfast. March 2nd is Read Across America Day and also commemorates the life and legacy of Theodore Geisel, also known as Dr. Seuss!
Dr. Suess was first published in 1960, with his classic Green Eggs and Ham. This is one of the best known children's books and is still in publication today. This is the very book that is inspiring restaurants across the country to serve the famous breakfast meal.
Theodore "Dr. Seuss" Geisel would have been 106 years old if he was still alive today. He was born in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2, 1904.
Dr Suess has authored 44 children's books, which were often characterized by imaginative characters, rhyme and frequent use of trisyllabic meter. His most celebrated childrens books include the bestselling Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Horton Hatches the Egg, Horton Hears a Who!, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Numerous adaptations of his work have been turned into 11 television specials, 3 feature films and a Broadway musical.
Sylvan Learning Centers across the country are partnering with the National Education Association for NEA's Read Across America. As part of the nationwide celebration, Sylvan Learning headquarters in Baltimore will host a milk and cookies reading event for kindergarten students from Baltimore's Cherry Hill Elementary School. Dr. Richard Bavaria, from Sylvan Learning was a guest on Good Morning Maryland at 9:00. He talked about the event and also had great tips for parents who want to get their kids to read.
Several posts around the Internet are highlighting 5 interesting bits of trivia about Dr. Seuss that we didn't know.
It's not a coincidence that Dr. Seuss rhymes Mother Goose, another epic figure in children's literature, Geisel knew what he was doing.
Seuss used trochees or choruses which presents text in an alternating pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables, "Shuffle, duffle, muzzle, muff," when presenting the dialogue for the magicians in Bartholomew and the Oobleck. Shakespeare also used the technique with his cauldron-stirring witches in Macbeth (Toil! Toil!), by Poe in his poem The Raven.
After his career as a children's author and illustrator picked up, Geisel worked as an editorial cartoonist in New York during World War II, which illustrated his strong antifascism views. They were also collected in a book called Dr. Seuss Goes to War, with an introduction by Art Spiegleman. Seuss also wrote several WWII era propaganda films.
Theodore Geisel wrote children's books under three pen names: Dr. Seuss, which was reserved for the books he both wrote and illustrated; as Theo LeSeig, for books that he wrote without illustrations, and as Rosetta Stone, for one book he wrote called Because a Little Bug Went Ka-choo!
The Cat in the Hat was introduced by Dr.Suess as a result of an article which was published in Life Magazine in 1954. The article criticized American school primers as being boring and unchallenging to young readers and responsible for causing harm to children's literacy. The article called for more primers to up the excitement by energizing the language and including drawings like those of "imaginative geniuses among children's illustrators, Tenniel, Howard Pyle and Theodore S. Geisel." Using the piece as a call to action, Geisel and his publisher came up with a list of 400 "exciting" words, which Seuss then narrowed down for the book as well as including 13 more of his own. The final product was 1,626 words in length and uses a total vocabulary of 236 words.
Geisel's books and characters are also featured in Seuss Landing, one of many islands at the Islands of Adventure theme park in Orlando, Florida. In an attempt to match Geisel's visual style, there are reportedly "no straight lines" in Seuss Landing.
He spent most of his life writing children's books, but Dr. Seuss surprisingly had no children of his own. When he was asked about this, he would say, "You have 'em; I'll entertain 'em."
