The Cat in the Hat promises to be the most popular book that will be read on Monday, March 2 as children and adults celebrate the 12th annual Read Across America event, sponsored by the National Education Association.
Some children will be wearing P.J.s to school and curling up with cuddly stuffed animals and favorite stories. Other classes will be enlisting adults in the community to spend time in the classroom reading to the children. There will be sports figures and politicians reading Green Eggs and Ham and other favorites by Dr. Seuss, the beloved children's author who was born on March 2, 1904.
The NEA chose Seuss' birthday as the date for the Annual Read Across America celebration that is designed to motivate children to read and to encourage adults to share books with the younger members of the community.
You'll find picture books and easy readers by Dr. Seuss in the Youth Services Department of the Santa Clara City Library.
