Green eggs and cake!
Happy Read Across America Day!
That’s right, today is the birthday of beloved children’s author, Dr. Seuss. Although the whimsical word wizard is no longer with us, we honor him each year by doing what he taught so many of us to love in our youth: reading.
So whether you’re currently engrossed in a classic novel, up to your neck in vampire fiction, hanging on to a harrowing true story of survival, ingesting and digesting today’s news, reliving yesteryear’s history, sopping up heartfelt love poems, or even just casually perusing the pages of READ magazine, we wish you well on all your wordy adventures. Wherever you may go today, whatever sea you sail, savor this slice of life we call reading and befriend every great white, literary whale. For “you have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”
But before we go…
Let’s have a little talk about tweetle beetles….
What do you know about tweetle beetles?
Well… When tweetle beetles fight, it’s called a tweetle beetle battle.
And when they battle in a puddle, it’s a tweetle beetle puddle battle.
AND when tweetle beetles battle with paddles in a puddle, they call it a tweetle beetle puddle paddle battle.
AND… When beetles battle beetles in a puddle paddle battle and the beetle battle puddle is a puddle in a bottle… …they call this a tweetle beetle bottle puddle paddle battle muddle.
AND… When beetles fight these battles in a bottle with their paddles and the bottle’s on a poodle and the poodle’s eating noodles… …they call this a muddle puddle tweetle poodle beetle noodle bottle paddle battle.
It’s true. I swear. Reading is amazing. Yah!
