Friday Favorites: March 7

This week’s book selection highlights the fabulous good reads provided by Dr. Seuss. Schools across the country held the 2nd annual Read Across America this week in honor of his birthday March 2 — and certainly there were programs many in our region.
In Yonkers, Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore read from one of my favorites, “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish” to a class of youngsters. See the photo below.
Read Across America is a project of the National Education Association. They have collected reading lists and devised programs throughout the year to encourage everyone, particularly school children, to read more and catch the thrill of books. Seuss’ publisher Random House worked on the project too. For those looking for information on Seuss books, check out the Seussville site.
And be sure to see the photo essay by TJN photographer Ricky Flores at LoHud.com .
