by Claudine Zap What a kick. Dr. Seuss is 106. The "doctor" was only honorary, but fans of the children's book author who gave us " Green Eggs and Ham ," and " One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish " knew that Dr. Seuss was one prescription for fun. Which is probably why it makes sense that the man whose books taught so many to read is honored on his birthday with the National Education Association's Read Across America Day .
