Children's books I love: Dr. Seuss

I have always loved Dr. Seuss. I grew up learning to laugh and read with a hard-bound set of his books. He was always funny and easy to understand. His illustrations were just wily and goofy enough to make me look closer into the world they created.
His real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel and he was born on March 2nd 1904. (We share a birthday!) He died in 1991 but he lives on every time I read his books to my son. 
The best thing about him is that he fits into my life just right no matter how old I am or where I am. 
He has lessons to teach me all the time. Here are a few...
