They played hard and they worked hard in the imaginary kingdom created by Dr. Seuss. Every afternoon King Birtram raced around the palace on a pair of old red stilts, until they were stolen. Born as Theodor Seuss Geisel (1904 - 1991), Dr. Seuss was best-known for his classic children's books under his pen name. Among his most popular books includes "The Cat in the Hat", "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", "Green Eggs and Ham" and "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish".
The same can be said about our pets, and farm animals. There is no better place to see to animals playing and working hard than a country fair. Spend an afternoon in the 4 H area.
The 4-H pledge is as follows:
- "I pledge my head to clearer thinking,
- my heart to greater loyalty,
- my hands to larger service
- and my health to better living,
- for my club, my community, my country, and my world."
The four "H"s stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. The organization serves over 6.5 million members in the United States from ages 5 to 19 in approximately 90,000 clubs. 4-H clubs and related organizations now exist in many other countries as well.
In the evening read one of the Dr. Seuss classics with the kids. Discuss what things the Cat in the Hat did in the house that might have made their mom upset. Brainstorm ideas for what the characters in the story should have done when the Cat in the Hat entered their home without permission and how the children could have made the Cat in the Hat leave. Why did the neighbor finally give in to Sam-I-Am and try the green eggs and ham?
