Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!! ( THE CAT IN THE HAT Wallpaper )

I know this is totally off-topic for a Batman Fan blog but I wanted to take this moment to honor Theodor Seuss Geisel, or Dr. Seuss, who would have been 105 years old today. All of his books will always remain total literary classics. There are way too many to list: The Cat In The Hat, Green Eggs & Ham, The Butter Battle Book, And To Think I Saw it On Mulberry Street, Fox in Socks, The Foot Book, Horton Hears a Who, Hop On Pop, and many many more! The "Cat In The Hat" graphic down below & the Black and White Photo of Dr. Seuss are actually Desktop Wallpapers you can use today to honor this great man, please do so. He has taught millions of children all over the world the joy of reading. He's a National Treasure & we will always be in his debt. Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!!

Like many kids my age, I learned to read, and to love language, largely through the Seuss books: my mom ordered a set of 4-5 board books, plus a big encyclopedia dictionary. Let me see, we had Hop on Pop, Go Dog Go, One Fish Two Fish, Green Eggs and Ham, and there might have been one other; I know we didn't have The Cat in the Hat or any of the 'story' books. I can still, 40 years hence, recite verses from them (as I can dialogue from the Batman tv show, to keep this on topic), for example: "Look what we found/in the park in the dark/we will take him home/we will call him Clark/he will live at our house/he will grow and grow/will out mother like this?/we don't know." A genius.
