I just love Dr. Seuss! I loved his books as a kid, I loved them as a teacher, and now I love sharing them with my children. Today I learned how to add a gadget to my blog. I chose a Dr. Seuss gadget that gives random quotes from this great and silly man.
Isn't it great that the first quote that it generated is perfect for a blog about learning things...
"Young cat, if you keep your eyes open enough, oh, the stuff you would learn! The most wonderful stuff! "
He was also blacklisted for being a communist during McCarthyism. Now isn't that nice?
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteYes, I am aware that Dr. Seuss was blacklisted. That does not change my opinion that he is a talented author of really fun, unique, and creative children's literature. By the way, another of my favorites, Lucille Ball, was blacklisted as well. The red scare was a difficult time in the history of America.
Thanks for your insight.
Jody
