Inside the Life of Dr. Seuss

Celebrate the 100th birthday of the incomparable Dr. Seuss with a special video interview on ReadingRockets.org. Audrey Geisel (Mrs. Dr. Seuss) offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of the man who's had a lasting influence on children's literature and American culture. In the interview she describes his genius as "the fun of learning when you don't know you're learning." The interview is available to watch online.
