Please join me in celebrating 50 years of the Cat in the Hat. I know I enjoyed Dr. Seuss' work and chances are, you did too. By sending the Cat in the Hat a birtday card, click here, you help get the book out to children that don't have a book.
Here is an exerpt from the foxnews.com article:
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the book, Random House has teamed up with Dr. Seuss Enterprises and First Book — a nonprofit organization whose mission is to give low-income children the opportunity to read and own their first new books — to create Project 236, a literacy initiative.
Haut said that like the literacy crisis that happened 50 years ago, today there is a crisis of children who do not own a book.
Project 236 works to end this crisis by donating a book to First Book for every birthday card that is sent to "The Cat in the Hat" and for every copy of the book that is bought, committing to donate at least 2 million books.

Way cool! I sent a b-day card from all three kiddos. There have already been over 1.5M cards sent! Awesome project! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, we got clear crystals and LOTS of quartz. I have pictures of the kids with their crystals but you can barely see them in their hands...so that's why I didn't post those. Crystal hunting in Okie land....who would have thought?
Thanks for sharing. I may just have to send a card!! What a neat thing to do!!
