Oh the thinks you can think What a happy experience to look into the faces of thirty plus children, first and second graders at Jackson Heights School. The joy and learn- ing interest in their eyes, their desire to listen to books and look at pictures was worth its weight in gold to this never to retire teacher. To see sparkling eyes and hear pos- itive vocal responses to the words of a book being read to them makes one think on a most positive level. Mrs. Hammond was so very gra- cious to give me reading time with these wonderful children, some of whom I had taught in their Preschool years. The celebration week honoring "Dr. Seuss" and the many books he wrote is welcomed by adults and children alike. Seuss was most pop- ular with "The Cat In The Hat." His happy and unusual rhymes entice children to read every one of his books. The books are not only entertaining they have become modern classics. Dr. Seuss’ birth- day is March 2, were he alive to cel- ebrate his birthday, he would be 107 years of age. His first children’s book was "And To Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street," It was rejected 27 times before being published. This first book was published in 1937 the year of my birth. Seuss was an ad man in New York City before World War II. Although he was not well known, for two years 1941- 1943, he was the chief editorial car- toonist for the New York newspa- per, PM (1940-1948), he drew over 400 editorial cartoons, and all were signed by Dr. Seuss. Many of the characters in the Seuss books were also apparent in the 1940s war time cartoons. One such cartoon was the victory cartoon featuring a "V" of stacked turtles which later produced Dr. Seuss’ "Yer- tle the Turtle" book. It has been said that Seuss’ early cartoons presented his War time cartoons against isola- tionism, racism and anti- Semitism with honest indignation, fervor and conviction. Dr. Seuss had no children of his Time Cartoons as we were always concerned about our Daddy being in the War. The "thinks" that we thought were there even though the Dr. Seuss books were not. For the adult children Carolyn Barber own; however he developed a close relationship with his nephew, who was the inspiration for "Green Eggs and Ham." How did Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss) learn to rhyme? He inherited the skill from his mother, who chanted to memorize pie recipes as a child in her father’s bakery. "Oh, the Thinks you Can Think!" This Seuss book has taken me back to the times when my father was in the War, Mother lived with my brother, Gary and me in a basement house in Golden, Col- orado. Little money was available and our books were sparse. Our mother made sure that the few books we had were repeatedly read to us. We had no doctor Seuss books then but we did see his War in Tehama County who are living through hard and not so hard econom- ic times who may want to take a jaunt to the Tehama County Library and check our a few Dr. Seuss books. It seems that his books were not just for children but for grown-ups also. A little reminder about thinking can give relief to the pressures on our minds. "Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the THINKS you can think up if only you try!" by: Dr. Seuss Thanks for thinking of me, Jack- son Heights School first and second grade students and thank you for your wonderful teacher, Mrs. Ham- mond who works so very hard for all of you. Thanks to Charlene Burch whom I have known since she was a child, and who keeps Jackson Height’s School Library ship shape and makes sure that lots of books are available to students. Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992. It appears on Saturdays. She can be contacted by e-mail at hur- car@yahoo.com.
