Dr Seuss day is held every year on 2 March, which is Dr Seuss’ birthday. In 2021 2 March falls on a Tuesday.
Dr Seuss is the pen name of Theodor Seuss Geisel, who was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904.
He attended Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, and then went to Lincoln College, Oxford, as a graduate student, then worked as an illustrator and cartoonist, before publishing his first children’s book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street in 1937.
Famous Dr Seuss characters include The Grinch, The Cat in the Hat, The Lorax, Sam-I-Am.
He died in 1991 aged 87.

Investigate materials and their properties with Dr Seuss’s ‘Oobleck’ with this lesson plan from Mary McCarney.
The tale of the Bartholomew and the Oobleck, about a sticky green gunk, can instigate a gloriously messy lesson in which children can squeeze, stir and splat their way to a better understanding of material properties.
A little online research revealed that oobleck (a non-Newtonian fluid, similar to quicksand) can be easily whipped up using a basic ingredient found in any kitchen cupboard.
This is a great practical activity that allows pupils to have fun, get messy, be surprised and question what they thought they knew about materials and their properties.
