Theodor Seuss Geisel’s whimsical illustrations are a fun way to view life. Your book donations with your fun illustrations inside will be greatly appreciated by the local libraries.
Visit:
- Theodor Geisel lived nearby. Consider planning a trip to the Dr. Seuss Memorial Sculpture Gardens in Springfield Massachusetts. I have a feeling you will recognize a lot of the characters!
- Later this year there will also be a Dr. Seuss museum opening in Springfield too. Keep an eye on their website for more information.
- While in Springfield you can take your own walk down Mulberry Street. Let me know if you encounter any lions.
See more:
- Reading Dr. Seuss’s books is fun, but sometimes it is nice to have them read to you. See if you can find a title that you don’t recognize.
- View work by Theodor Geisel that was not published in his books. His self-portraits are my favorite.
Consider:
- Dr. Seuss is well loved, but Theodor Geisel told many lies that are still remembered today, including deceiving his father into believing that he was receiving a scholarship to Lincoln College in Oxford.
- Think about this verse, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” Ephesians 4:29 How can our talk build others up or benefit them? Why can’t “kind, white lies” really build others up?
