Golden Triangle children of all ages are being invited to Mississippi State April 24 for the second Evening of Readings from Dr. Seuss.
The 7 p.m. public program in the Colvard Union ballroom also includes milk and cookies for all participants. The university's counseling and testing service department and Delta Delta Delta social sorority are sponsors.
"Dr. Seuss is fun for all ages, so this event is for children from 4 to 84," said Thomas Woodruff, staff psychologist at the center.
Readers will include psychology professor Thomas Carskadon; Linda Coats, associate professor of curriculum and instruction; head women's basketball coach Sharon Fanning; Meghan Millea, assistant professor of finance and economics; George Verrall, interim provost and vice president for academic affairs; and Dan Webb, assistant professor of health, physical education, recreation, and sport.
Dr. Seuss is the better-known name of American author Theodor Seuss Geisel (1904-91), who began his creative career with such children's books as "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street" in 1937 and "Horton Hatches the Egg," a classic released in 1940. After winning Academy Awards for documentaries in the mid-1940s, he again began producing children's books, among them "Horton Hears a Who" and "The Cat in the Hat."
