Day #11: The Book That Made me Fall in Love with Reading
I remember it like it was yesterday. I read Green Eggs & Ham to my 1st grade class for show and tell. It was the first book I could read all by myself. I thought I was such hot shit. “Look at me classmates! I’m READING!” What a smug little teacher’s pet I was.
I’m pretty sure that was also the first time I saw the glazed look of non-interest when I got all bookish on people. Did I care? Nope. I was READING!

Three cheers for Dr. Seuss! I always loved Fox in Sox and the tweedle beetle puddle battles. Haha!

Most kids in general do! That's why he's so great! At Universal Islands of Adventure in Orlando, in Seuss World, there is a great shop with a ton of his actual art and it's really cool! Very kid-like but also very adult-appreciative!

I learned to read with Dr. Seuss, too. I still remember my euphoria when I read my first book ALL BY MYSELF! 🙂
