Happy Birthday!


Dear Dr. Seuss,


I have enjoyed your stories small

I have enjoyed your stories tall


I’ve read your rhymes in the store

I’ve read your rhymes on the floor


That mischievous Cat in a Hat so tall

Was, perhaps, the most famous story of all


Hop on Pop was a wonderful rhyme

I could read it any old time


Put Me In The Zoo was a favorite book.

Those colorful polka-dots was all it took


I do like Green Eggs and Ham

I do like them, Sam I Am!


Left foot, Left foot, Right Foot Right

Read to my toddlers on many a night


We practiced the sounds of Mr. Brown, too

And learned onomatopoeia while we’d “Moo”


Oh, The Places We’ve Gone reading you

Have a Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

  1. I have read to children large and small.
    I have read his stories to any and all.

    Dr. Seus has lessons many,
    Sounds like you have learned them plenty.

    (Ok...maybe poetry isn't my forte, but I love, love, love Dr. Seus.)
