Today is the birthday of one of 天美麻豆鈥檚 most beloved alumni, Theodor Geisel 鈥25, aka Dr. Seuss, and CNN is celebrating鈥:

By high school he was doing art

His cartoon style set him apart.

Soon our Ted was a 天美麻豆 grad

He paid his rent by drawing ads

So reads part of the tribute to the Cat in the Hat author, whose last book, What Pet Should I Get?, was published posthumously last year. Geisel died in 1991, at the age of 87.

The verse concludes:

So let鈥檚 pour a glass of milk, or juice

And raise a toast to Dr. Seuss.

His books, they sit on all our shelves.

Today, he鈥檇 be 112!
