A Note from Me (Mar 5, 2021)
Dear friends: Welcome to March and Women’s History Month! A few years ago, I wrote about our founding editor Bertha Mahony Miller; in this month’s Horn Book Magazine I call attention to new nonfiction, mainly picture book biographies, about women who have made their mark. Off the clock, I’m reading...
The Book That Changed My Life: Oh, What a Circus
Dr. Seuss sketched the spiritual background of my childhood — particularly in books such as If I Ran the Circus, If I Ran the Zoo, and On Beyond Zebra! As a kid, I loved weird beasts, and each of these books featured a menagerie of goggle-eyed, fanged, tufty mammals with...
No, the places YOU'LL go.
Sure, COME ON IN.When I say, as I do with some regularity, "I hate Dr. Seuss," I don't mean it as criticism of his work for any kind of aesthetic or political shortcoming, and obviously I don't have anything against the man himself. What I mean is that The Cat and...

Spend a rainy afternoon with the mischievous Cat in the Hat in Oceanhouse Media's brand-new interactive digital book app The Cat in the Hat — Read & Learn (July 2015).After you leave the home screen in "read to me" mode (there's also a "read it myself" option for reading practice),...
I speak for...
...Dr. Seuss. Well, someone has to, because Illumination Entertainment and Universal Studios, creators of the new movie The Lorax (March 2012; PG), certainly don't. The basic elements of Dr. Seuss’s classic tale remain: there’s a Lorax, for example, and sure, he speaks for the trees. The Once-ler is there, and...
Truffula treats
In honor of Dr. Seuss’s 108th birthday (happy birthday Ted!), the premiere of the new animated The Lorax film, and the annual Read Across America Day, I took a look at David A. Carter's The Lorax Pop-up! book (Robin Corey Books/Random House, January). After all, I am a reviewer. I...
Gardening with The Lorax
As the public becomes increasingly worried by climate change and deforestation, Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax, originally published in 1971, may be more relevant than ever before. With its unforgettable characters and sentiment, the classic is an entertaining and informative way of introducing young children to environmental issues.Unfortunately, The Lorax Garden...
"It's your Day of all Days! It's the Best of the Best!"
