Love the post (found you in a google search for dr suess) so I started to follow you on Facebook. Your banner at the top says 107 but Dr. Suess would be 108 today. 🙂
Bah! I’m a dork, forgive me! I will correct it now. Everything I was googling late last night after an even said 107! Lame! ;D LOL. And welcome to the blog!
Love your Seuss round-up!
