“Fill your house with stacks of books, in all the crannies and all the nooks.” -Dr. Suess... A book is part of what makes us individuals. The imagery I had while reading those words were something different than my neighbor. And that's OK. It's part of what makes you, "YOU". Stop trying to change or delete those words. In the end, you'll only be deleting yourself. #read #drsuess #reading #care

The short, sensible summary is as follows. Dr. Seuss Enterprises, which controls Theodor Geisel‘s copyrights, decided not to print more copies of six works that contain racist imagery. This ought to be relatively uncontroversial. 🤦🏽♀️
News from the publishing world on #DrSeussBirthday. What are your reactions, Littens? I'm personally not one bit sad about this, but I'm sure there are many schools of thought out there!

pickThis is another great book by the legendary Dr. Seuss. It tells the story of a child named Gerald who finds the zoo he visits too boring. He tells us all about the interesting animals he would bring in to his version of the zoo after letting all of the other animals free. #ucflae3414f19
This book earned Dr. Seuss a Caldecott honor for his illustrations.
Seuss is one of my favorite authors, and I think that his stories are always so charming. I loved these books as a kid and I feel the same as an adult. I think that students would love this book.
They'll be so surprised they'll all swallow their gum. / They'll ask, when they see my strange animals come, / “Where do you suppose he gets things like that from?“
pickThis Caldecott winner, is a fun story about a boy named Gerald who wants to run the zoo! He wants to get rid of the normal animals and bring in crazy animals like elephant-cats! I loved this story as a child and it's still fun as an adult. I think that plenty of kids in all age groups would enjoy this story.
1. Only if you count the university on move in day lol
2. Yes I have.
3. I always like the tigers even though they really should be in larger reserve type places.
4. Touched a manta ray/sting ray
5. Any and all of you are wild!

I just can‘t get over how much the color pops in this book. I think that even if kids can‘t read, they‘d still really enjoy and get a lot from just looking at the pictures.
pickThis book makes the very interesting choice of colors. The are mostly black & white and then bright primary colors. The lines are also either very thin or very thick and bold. As always, dr. Seuss made a book I think every child will enjoy.
Walked a LOT today while visiting The Oregon Zoo with my little charge. Being a nanny is the best job ever!

pan1950s America produced the ideas behind the racist illustrations in this book. There is even a rhyme about slanted eyes!! Sorry, Theodore, I am a huge fan & from Mass., too, but the illustrations of Asians and Africans in this book disgust. Do not read or give this book to children! #racist #racism #1950s #noexcuse #kidsbooks
“For those that are ugly vicious and mean
I‘ll build a Bad-Animal-Catching-Machine
It‘s rather expensive to build such a kit,
But with it a hunter can never get bit. “
I finished the cover. That‘s Tom from “Tom and Jerry” hiding behind the book 😂 #finishabookcover #drseuss
I love to tell kids it's possible to invent a word. This is my favorite. Whether Suessian or modern definition, I fit both. happy World Book Day. #happybirthdaydrsuess #marchintoreading
