Happy 107th Dr Seuss!

Today, March 2nd, would have been the 107th birthday of Theodore Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss). In his honor, the National Education Association has declared March 2nd Read Across America Day.

So much information about Dr. Seuss is scattered on the web. I thought it would be helpful to attempt to gather the best of them here. This is a work in progress. Ill be adding to the list in the months to come, and if you come across a relevant site/blog, please let me know and Ill include it.
