Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!


COME TO A BIRTHDAY PARTY!
SATURDAY, MARCH 15 AT 1 P.M.


Sam I am, fox in socks, the cat in the hat, and the grinch are just a few of the characters populating some of my favorite children's books, all written by Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss.

Dr. Seuss was born on March 2, 1904. Every year in March, millions of fans celebrate the life and work of this author and illustrator, and this year, we are celebrating too! On Saturday, March 15, Aram Public Library invites you to attend a birthday party for Dr. Seuss. A typical birthday party includes games and cake, but Dr. Seuss had a pretty wild imagination, and I think his birthday party deserves to be a little different.

If Dr. Seuss were to plan a birthday party, what do you think it would be like? Would the cake be miles high with purple and green frosting? Would balancing fish bowls on your umbrella take the place of "pin the tail on the donkey?" Will everyone wear 500 party hats while the Birthday Honk Honker blows his horn?

You never know what will happen when you let your imagination take over. Turn YOUR imagination loose on March 15 at Dr. Seuss's Birthday Party. See you at 1 p.m. here at Aram Public Library!
