Today, March 2, 2015, is what would have been Theodore Seuss Geisel’s 111st birthday. It is also National Education Association’s Read Across America celebration to promote literacy. To participate, in addition to pulling out Green Eggs and Ham, why not share some fantastic nonfiction with titles from the Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library?

The Cat in the Hat might not be the first book/character that comes into mind when you think of nonfiction, but it should be.  The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library blends the fun cartoon characters and rhyming text of classic Seuss with well-researched, high quality nonfiction. It is a winning combination!
