22 Fun Dr Seuss Crafts for Kids | Read Across America Day | Dr Seuss Day
On Dr. Seuss Day, let’s celebrate the father of wit & wisdom with these simple Seuss Crafts for kids! As he says, “These things are fun and fun is good!”
Walk into any bookstore or log on to an online one and you’ll find a wide range of categories to choose from. Of course, there is the genre-wise categorization, but a more general one is the adults’ and kids’ sections. However, there are some books that stand out – because they belong to both!
These are the books that grow with you – they make sense at any age. Maybe that’s why they’re called evergreen classics, and the most popular ones have got to be the Seuss books! What appears to be utter nonsense on the surface actually hides a lot of depth, making these books truly unique.
