March 2: Read Across America and Nightlife

Here are some of the events going on around New Hyde Park.

I will read it in a park, I will read it with a shark. I will read it on a train, I will even read it in the rain. I will read it on some hay or eating crayfish by the bay, I will read Patch every day.

We may be getting a little carried away with ourselves, but that’s only because a famous children’s author is celebrating a birthday today. See if you can guess ‘Who’ it is!

Here’s what else you need to know:

1. Today happens to be the 108th birthday of Dr. Seuss (bonus points if you know his real name – Theodore Geisel – without looking it up). As such, it’s Read Across America Day and there also happens to be a new movie out with the good doctor’s name on it. Tell us what your favorite Seuss book is in the comments!
