BIRMINGHAM, Ala.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Oh, the places you’ll go! Thanks to the genius of Dr. Seuss,
treasured titles like “Cat and the Hat,” “Green Eggs & Ham” and many
more have become beloved children’s book classics for multiple
generations of young readers. The man behind the storybook brilliance,
Dr. Theodor Geisel, would have turned 112-years-old today! In honor of
the literary legacy who brought inspiration through his whimsical
writing style, renowned rhymes and animated tales, Books-A-Million
is hosting a special Dr. Seuss birthday celebration with
storytime and fun-filled activities at all store locations on Saturday,
March 5 starting at 2 p.m.
As part of the event celebrations, children can enjoy read-aloud story
time of popular Dr. Seuss books, crafts, coloring and games galore. As
if the festivities weren’t enough, customers who buy two Dr. Seuss books
will receive a third for FREE on select Dr. Seuss titles through March 7!
To spotlight this admired author’s imaginative, signature stories, Books-A-Million
has released their top three picks of Dr. Seuss must-reads.

All journeys face perils, whether from indecision, from loneliness, or worst of all, from too much waiting. Seuss’ message is simple but never sappy: life may be a ‘Great Balancing Act,’ but through it all ‘There’s fun to be done.’ |

What to do on a rainy day? Two children sit and stare out the window, when suddenly a giant cat wearing a tall striped hat pops into their lives. With tons of wild rhyming that is classic Seussical goodness, the kids watch helplessly as havoc is wrecked upon their home by all sorts of things the cat produces, including Thing One and Thing Two. |
