A Doctor's Birthday Party

In the land of Chicago, a bookstore does lie,
Where well-loved Pollans and Austens and Terkels sit by.

But of course, don't forget, Geisel lives here too,
In picture books and poetry and a Truffula or two.

Who's Geisel, you ask? The answer may surprise.
He's no gyno or derma or doc for the eyes.

But a doctor, he is! A doctor called Seuss,
And his birth we will cheer while his books go vamoose.

For wee ones and older, the bookstore will rock.
With coloring, crafts, and readings, no crock.

On Saturday, March 3, from noon to four,
Stop by Open Books bookstore, located at 213 W. Institute Pl., for the man we adore.
