Dr. Seuss's Horse Museum Lesson Plans What’s it all about? A visit to an art museum entirely dedicated to horses invites readers to think about how artists share their ideas with us, and how the art they make is shaped by their experiences. While focused on visual art, Dr. Seuss’s Horse Museum offers a perfect springboard to explore language arts and history at the same time. An energetic and knowledgeable horse tour guide (yes, a horse!) shepherds young visitors through a museum featuring reproductions of real paintings, sculptures, and textiles. Our equine guide asks the kids to not just look at the art, but also to think about the artist and what they thought, felt, and wanted to tell us when creating their piece. He invites the museum visitors and readers to Look, Think, and Talk. Explore point of view, meaning, artistic expression, and interpretation with Dr. Seuss’s Horse Museum. Note to teachers: Most of the ideas here are adaptable to different age groups, so read through the activities for all ages. You can adapt activities based on your needs or interests. You’ll find lots of interesting ideas. Text TM & copyright © by Dr. Seuss Enterprises, L.P. 2019. Illustrations copyright © 2019 by Andrew Joyner Seuss Enterprises, L.P. TM & copyright © by Dr. Text A never-before- published book about creating and looking at art! Based on a manuscript and sketches discovered in 2013, this book is like a visit to a museum—with a horse as your guide! Explore how different artists have seen horses, and maybe even find a new way of looking at them yourself. Discover full-color photographic reproductions of pieces by Pablo Picasso, George Stubbs, Rosa Bonheur, Alexander Calder, Jacob Lawrence, Deborah Butterfield, Franz Marc, Jackson Pollock, and many others—all of which feature a horse! Young readers will find themselves delightfully transported by the engaging equines as they learn about the creative process and see art in new ways. Taking inspiration from Dr. Seuss’s original sketches, acclaimed illustrator Andrew Joyner has created a look that is both subtly Seussian and wholly his own. His whimsical illustrations are combined throughout with reproductions of art, as we tour a museum with our horse guide. Cameo appearances by classic Dr. Seuss characters (among them the Cat in the Hat, the Grinch, and Horton the Elephant) make Dr. Seuss’s Horse Museum a playful picture book that is totally unique. Ideal for home or classroom use, it encourages critical thinking and makes a great gift for Dr. Seuss fans, artists, and horse lovers of all ages.

    Grappling with Seuss by Rev. Michelle Collins, delivered March 2, 2014 (Dr. Seuss’s 110th birthday) When How the Grinch Stole Christmas was published, it only had two colors, red and green. Art director Cathy Goldsmith was assigned the job of creating a four-color version of illustrations from the book for a puzzle. This project ended up having an unexpected twist in it. When she first sent Geisel her sketch, he called her right back with a problem. “You know what’s wrong? You need some color in the snow.” “What do you mean? Snow is white!” “No,” he says. “Look here, it’s too white. You need a little color so it doesn’t blind you.” He grabbed his color chart and gave her a number for pale mint green for her snow. Green snow! What was he thinking?!? But she went with it, and put green snow into the puzzle picture. And the crazy thing is, it worked. The other colors in the picture dominated and the pale green snow was a soft snow-white.1 Only Dr. Seuss could make green snow that works as snow! Today our celebration of Dr. Seuss in our service is in honor of today’s being his 110th birthday. Theodor Geisel went by the pen name Dr. Seuss for most of his children’s books, and occasionally Theo LeSieg for books that he wrote but others illustrated. He wrote 46 books as Dr. Seuss over the course of his life. Now while we love to “claim” people as UU’s, Dr.

  • Movie Review: Dr. Seuss' the Lorax
    Movie Review: Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax By Joseph McAleer Catholic News Service NEW YORK – “Unless someone like you cares an awful lot, nothing is going to get better.” That’s the urgent moral of a beloved children’s book now translated into a 3-D animated feature as “Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax” (Universal). This action-packed, candy- colored film for the entire family retains the charm of the original 1971 fable by Theodore Geisel while enhancing its central message: To wit, it’s not nice to fool with Mother Nature. Or, in this case, Father Nature, in the guise of the title character (voice of Danny DeVito). The legendary “guardian of the forest,” the Lorax is a grotesque furry creature with a broad mustache. Chop down a tree or otherwise despoil the environment and you’ll provoke a tongue-lashing from the Lorax – and a warning of dire consequences to come. Since a spare, 61-page children’s book does not a 94-minute film make, director Chris Renaud (“Despicable Me”) and screenwriters Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio (who also adapted 2008’s “Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who!”) have considerably expanded Geisel’s story, building their tale around a teen romance. Our hip protagonist, Ted (voiced by Zac Efron, and named for Geisel), yearns for Audrey (voice of Taylor Swift, and named for Mrs. Geisel). Audrey, in turn, pines, so to speak, for just one thing – the sight of a real live tree. You see, there are no trees in Thneedville, a town where every bit of the environment is artificial.

  • Theodor Seuss Geisel 1904-1991 Author Study Melissa Kaplan
    10 Theodor Seuss Geisel 1904-1991 Author Study Melissa Kaplan Education 524 Dr. Jayne DeLawter Sonoma State University Copyright November 14, 1995 Like many children since 1937, Dr. Seuss was a part of my early life with such books as Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, And to Think That! Saw It All on Mulberry Street, Horton Hatches an Egg, stories of the Sneetches, and the east-going Grinch’s memorable confrontation with the west-going Grinch. They were fun books to read, certainly more fun and interesting than the books used at school to teach us to read...Dick and Jane were interesting only for the first several months, after which they were so boring that you knew you would never play with them if they ever came by. Not, perhaps, that you would ever really want to play with the Cat in the Hat. After all, how in the world would you tell your parents what happened if the Cat didn’t put everything right again? I re-read the books and some of the newer ones when my brother, almost four years my junior, was learning to read. By that time I was off into other books and other interests and, while they were colorful and fun, no longer seemed so entertaining. Despite that, however, I can still easily recall drawings from some of my favorite early Seuss stories. Several years ago, a book title in a catalog caught my attention: The Tough Coughs as He Ploughs the Dough. Working as I then was with many people for whom English was a second language, and trying to deal with creative spelling not only inside the office but on correspondence going out to clients, the often seemingly illogical spelling of words was always simmering in my mind somewhere.

He was not an official doctor, but his prescription for fun has delighted readers for more than 60 years. Theodor Seuss Geisel (“Ted”) was born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts. His father, Theodor Robert, and grandfather were brewmasters and enjoyed great financial success for many years. Coupling the continual threats of Prohibition and World War I, the German-immigrant Geisels were targets for many slurs, particularly with regard to their heritage and livelihoods. In response, they were active participants in the pro-America campaign of World War I. Thus, Ted and his sister Marnie overcame such ridicule and became popular teenagers involved in many different activities.

  • Open Doctor on the Warpath.Pdf
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH DOCTOR ON THE WARPATH: HOW THE SECOND WORLD WAR MADE THEODOR SEUSS GEISEL BRANDON ELLIOTT GATTO Spring 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in English with honors in English Reviewed and approved* by the following: Sanford Schwartz Associate Professor of English Thesis Supervisor Janet Lyon Associate Professor of English, Women’s Studies, and Science, Technology, and Society Honors Adviser Daniel Hade Associate Professor of Language and Literacy Second Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i Abstract The stories of Dr. Seuss, one of the most popular and best-selling children’s authors of all time, are often associated with fantastic characters, whimsical settings, and witty rhymes. While such facets are commonplace in the world of children’s literature, the ability of Theodor Seuss Geisel to transform reality into a nonsense arena of eloquence and simplicity is perhaps what made him a symbol of American culture. Despite his popularity, however, the historical context and primary influences of the author’s memorable lessons are not critically evaluated as much as those of other genre personalities. Many of his children’s books have clear, underlying messages regarding societal affairs and humanity, but deeper connections have yet to be established between Geisel’s pedagogical themes and personal agenda. Accordingly, this thesis strives to prove that the most inherent and significant influences of Dr. Seuss derive from his experiences as a political cartoonist during the Second World War era. Having garnered little recognition before World War II, Geisel’s satirical political illustrations and subsequent war-based work helped shape him into the rousing, unparalleled children’s author that generations have come to read and remember.
