Dr Seuss museum opens
A museum honouring the life and work of children’s book author and illustrator Ted Geisel, better known as Dr Seuss, has opened in his hometown of Springfield, Massachusetts.
Named ‘The Amazing World of Dr Seuss’, the museum features personal items of Geisel’s, including his drawing table, that were donated by relatives of the author, and interactive games that children can play that help with reading and vocabulary.
“The Amazing World of Dr Seuss is a permanent, bilingual museum designed to introduce children and their families to the stories of Ted Geisel, promote joy in reading, and nurture specific literacy skills,” reads the official description of the museum.
“The 3,200-square-foot first floor exhibition will provide opportunities to explore new sounds and vocabulary, play rhyming games, invent stories, and engage in activities that encourage teamwork and creative thinking,” it continues.
