"Today You are You. That is Truer than True.
There is no one alive who is Youer than You"
Growing up, Dr. Seuss was the author of most of my bedtime stories, The Sleep Book being my favorite. He was one of the most creative and imaginative authors of all time, and his 102nd birthday would have been this Friday, March 2nd. It was no coincidence that the movie The Lorax premiered on this day as children and adults alike gathered at theaters to witness this author's great work in cinemas. Most famous for his book The Cat in the Hat, most (if not all) of his children's books have moral messages within them, and the Lorax is no exception. The Lorax focuses on the environment and the growing necessity to protect it, specifically trees (a rather relevant issue of today). Voices for this animated film include Taylor Swift (yay!), Danny DeVito, and Zach Effron. Click Here for Trailer
Dr. Seuss' work has been brought to life not only in movies, but also in Seuss Land located within Universal Studio's Islands of Adventures theme park. Bright colors, interesting creatures, and (mostly) happy staff members make Seuss Land quite the wonderland for children of all ages. Upon visiting Harry Potter World this January, Ben and I had to pass through Seuss Land and decided to ride the "Sneetches In". Though less than adrenaline pumping, this ride brought my back to my childhood days and I was grateful for that. For those of you that do not know that story of the Sneetches, you'll find a video below of Dr. Seuss' great story. Even in 2012, he continues to be a legendary author, poet, and cartoonist and I imagine he will remain so.
