It's Dr. Seuss's birthday--if he were still with us, he would have been 107 years old today. As you might imagine, at the Geisel Library at UC San Diego, his birthday is celebrated with great gusto. There are balloons...
Musical performances...
Kids of all ages...
A cake featuring the Cat in the Hat's head...
...which was made of Rice Krispies treats so was sawed apart to feed the hungry masses of college students.
...who had already devoured about 20 of these sheet cakes.
I never read the Dr. Seuss books as a kid--I seemed to move on quickly from being read to by my mom to reading the
Little House on the Prairie books (perhaps an exaggeration, but you know what mean; I skipped over that level of book)--but now I appreciate them as rather marvelous celebrations of language. Happy Birthday!
