Reading inspires us in many different ways. For Dr. Seuss he had the imaginative mind of creating some awesome reading books that not only captivates the young audience, but adults like myself. Some of my favorite books of course is Cat in the Hat, The Lorax, Green Eggs & Ham and of course many more just to name a few. What are some of your favorite Dr. Seuss Books? Please share.

I have compiled a list of websites and resources that I hope you will use with your students / children in your classroom and / or at home.
