Early this month the North Bergen Public Library hosted a free birthday party for Theodor Seuss Geisel, more popularly known as Dr. Seuss.

Some of his renowned books include “The Cat in the Hat,” “If I ran the Circus,” “Oh, the Places You’ll Go,” and “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.”

Celebrating reading with Seuss
________

Seuss’ birthday was on March 2, and while the author died in 1991, the date is used nationally to encourage literacy through Read Across America Day.

So on March 2 at 4:30 p.m., around 30 children under the age of 8 were treated to Seuss stories, Seuss characters, a visit from Mayor Nicholas Sacco and of course, a birthday cake.
