National
Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Commemoration
The Lewis and Clark expedition looms
large in the American imagination. It is an unsurpassed tale
of adventure and endurance, yet the bicentennial events must
be more than a commemoration of a long-ago adventure. This
is an opportunity for all of us to evaluate the long chain
of cause and effect that links past, present and future.

Winner
of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984, as well as three Academy Awards,
Theodor Geisel (best known as Dr. Seuss) authored and illustrated
forty-four children's books. Since his first children's book
in 1936, Dr. Seuss has introduced several generations of kids
to the joy of reading. March 2 is his one-hundredth birthday.
Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Dr.
Seuss: Characters and Unusual Creatures
Although this site lacks graphics and
animation, it's a valuable reference. Visit to peruse a list
of all of Seuss' books, followed by an alphabetic list of
all his creatures (from Aaron, the alligator to Zummers.)
Did you know the word "nerd" dates to 1950 when
it first appeared in Dr. Seuss' "If I Ran the Zoo"?
"I'll sail to Ka-Troo And Bring Back an It-Kutch a Preep
and a Proo a Nerkle a Nerd and a Seersucker, too!"

Infoplease:
Dr. Seuss
"His books were originally considered
too outlandish to appeal to children. His first, 'And to Think
That I Saw it on Mulberry Street' (1937), was reputedly rejected
by twenty-eight publishers before it finally found a home
at Random House." Infoplease brings us an excellent one
page bio, and related articles from their encyclopedia. Best
link is Grinchy Trivia, which compares the 2000 live action
movie and the 1966 TV movie with the original "How the
Grinch Stole Christmas!" book.

Dr.
Seuss National Memorial
Geisel was born in Springfield, Massachusetts,
which is now home to the Dr. Seuss National Memorial. Best
bets are the Geisel biography (All About Dr. Seuss), the tour
of the sculpture garden (National Memorial), and Dr. Seuss
Art Gallery. Although all the work at the gallery is for sale,
you don't need to buy it to enjoy it. Be sure to view the
Secret Art Gallery, which displays art not created for any
of his books.
