We love Dr. Seuss around here!Julia loved writing stories Dr. Seuss style. Nate loved drawing pictures of Thing 1 and Thing 2. Riley loves watching on PBS KIDS.

Are you doing anything to celebrate? I’d love to hear your ideas!

PBS sent me the following information and I wanted to share it with you:

“Dr. Seuss’ Birthday Cat-ebration” kicks off on Monday, March 3, with an all-new one-hour THE CAT IN THE HAT KNOWS A LOT ABOUT THAT! special. The party continues all week with half hour episodes where kids will join Cat, Sally and Nick on more science adventures during this weeklong extravaganza.

As part of the Cat-ebration, PBS KIDS has also launched a new, mobile-friendly THE CAT IN THE HAT KNOWS A LOT ABOUT THAT! game. “Marbleous Marvel Coaster” allows kids to create their own Seussian rollercoasters using open-ended play and engineering skills and is available at pbskids.org/catinthehat.

One-hour special, featuring the following four stories – PremieresMonday, March 3, 2014

“Step This Way”: The kids are playing dress-up, with Sally wearing her mom’s shoes and Nick wearing his dad’s shoes. They’re having trouble walking, and the Cat thinks it’s because their feet are the wrong shape. But doesn’t everyone have the same shaped feet? Not at all! The Cat takes them to the Jungle of Bingle-Bungle Boo to meet his friends Emily the Teal, Mikey the Lemur and Greg the Gecko. They see that animals have differently shaped feet to help them do different things! You need the right feet for the right job!
Educational Objective: Creatures have different feet for different uses.
