This day in 1904 of the children's book author who wrote under the name Dr. Seuss was born. Theodor Geisel published his first book for children, "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street", in 1937. Soon after followed "The Cat in the Hat" and "Green Eggs and Ham."
ALL my favorite authors today! Over the years, I read near all of the authors Garrison cited today. Their novels helped get me through my own tribulations, minor and major, of my own life and career.
Author Tom Wolfe's quote to newspaper editors covers all the media: "....provide the emotional reality of the news, for it is the emotions, not the facts, that most engage and excite readers and in the end are the heart of most stories."
As Seuss said in his "McElligot's Pool" , "That pool may be deeper than you or I know....." So are own our thoughts when reading to our kids. We can all use the "deepers" in our thinkings before our doings.
