Happy Birthday to You, Dr. Seuss! March 2nd is the birthday of Dr. Theodor Seuss Geisel, fondly known as “Dr. Seuss”. This American author wrote and illustrated some of the most famous children’s books in the 20th century. His quirky cartoon characters, catchy, rhythmic prose and colorful animations were his trademark style. His popular books were made into films: How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Cat in the Hat, The Lorax, and Horton Hears a Who to name a few. Dr. Seuss enjoyed brining joy to children with his classic stories like The Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish, Green Eggs and Ham, Yertle the Turtle, and so many more. Through the use of repetition, memorable story lines and good, clean fun Dr. Seuss holds a very special place in the hearts and minds of children and adults all over the world.
The stories and characters of the amazing mind and creativity of Dr. Seuss come alive at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure theme park in Orlando, Florida, winner of the TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice #1 Theme Park in the world for both 2015 and 2016. “Seuss Landing” is the place for small children to get a taste of the characters and style of Dr. Seuss.
