We celebrated the wonderful world of Dr Seuss on Thursday 2 March which was also World Book Day so we had some children wearing great costumes in the library. There was a ladybird from ‘What the ladybird heard’, Catwoman, Woody from Toy Story, a spy, Spiderman and later we were joined by The Woman in Black!
Our first craft was making a mini version of the Cat in the Hat’s hat. Look at how cute they turned out!
Next we made The Lorax’s face from polystyrene balls cut in half which we coloured orange and stuck on eyebrows and a moustache made from yellow felt, googly eyes and a sweet mini pom pom nose.
Then everybody decorated and made some cool Cat in the Hat bookmarks.
Dr Seuss would have been 113 years old on the 2 March 2017! His books are still immensely popular and his quotes continue to inspire.
Below are a few of my favourite Dr Seuss quotes:
‘The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.’
– I Can Read with My Eyes Shut“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…”
– Oh, the Places You’ll Go“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
– The Lorax
Hope you all had a great World Book Day.
