Happy birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Today is Dr. Seuss's birthday! That's not why we had off, but that sounds like a national holiday in the works for me. In this post, I have included a "wordle." You can make a "wordle" at http://www.wordle.net/. The application takes text that you enter and creates an image with words in proportion to how many times they are used in the text. Unfortunately, it seems to ignore pronouns. However, enough is given in this "wordle" for one to guess which Dr. Seuss book was Mrs. Plato's favorite when she was a little girl.

One of my favorite moments as an adult was seeing Jessie Jackson on Saturday Night Live reading this book. It's the best! Click here to see.
