To Celebrate Read Across America Day?


Remember having fun with these?


If you are reading a book for class, which seems to grow extra pages the longer you read it, you might realize it’s time for a break. But you’re still a book-loving English major (minor, etc) and you don’t quite want to move away from your books.

Let me introduce you to Dr. Seuss Day on March 2nd. Clearly, an event all fans of the printed word would be interested in. Who doesn’t remember those early years when fish were red or blue, one or two? Look fondly back on the days when green eggs and ham didn’t refer to a bad dinner pick from our Eickhoff dining hall.

Come join us from 1-3 in Bliss Lounge. Why? Because we’re fellow adults who still love hearing Dr. Seuss. And eating cake. Did I mention the Dr. Seuss themed cake that will be available for free? Well let me now: there will be a Dr. Seuss themed cake that will be available for free. At 1:30 and 2:30 we will have marathon readings. If you want to read, go stop by and sign up; if you don’t, then sit back and have a story read to you for once in way too long.
At the end, don’t forget to sign the guest list and get your certificate e-mailed to you!

Hope to see you there! Wed March 2nd. Bliss Lounge. 1pm-3pm. Cake and other goodies from 1pm-3pm. Marathon Readings 1:30 and 2:30.

  1. Thank you, Cynthia, for hosting this event. The cake was cute--and just the right size! It was fun to reminisce on my childhood favorites. And to hear our professors read Dr. Seuss rhymes in silly voices!

  2. I do not like green eggs and ham -- i do not like them, Sam I am!

    Actually, of course, it is my favorite Dr. Seuss!

  3. It was so much fun to celebrate with Dr. Seuss books both at college and with my second grade class. It just goes to show how versatile those good old books really are. Everyone can remember reading them at some point. It may be silly to think about the timeless nature of silly childrens' books but I don't think I could think of a better description of them.

    Much love for Dr. Seuss and read across America!

    PS. My favorie book was always Horton Hears a Who. In case you were wondering.
