Dr. Theodor Seuss Geisel spent a lifetime dedicated to the pursuit of learning through imagination. The Children's Museum of Houston invites you to celebrate the life and times of the literary genius who taught the world "the more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."
Dr. Seuss's birthday falls on March 2. Also, one of the Dr. Seuss' most beloved characters, The Lorax, will be on hand to share in the celebration. The Lorax premieres in theaters on March 2.
