Dr. Seuss (Theodore Gissel) has been dead for nearly 20 years, but he is still teaching children to read.

On Read Across America Day, March 2 (Dr. Seuss's birthday), many students spend the day wearing Cat in the Hat hats and eating green eggs and ham.

That is exactly what the kindergarten students of Mrs. Kim Newton did on Wednesday, March 2. They have been reading Dr. Seuss books all week, Mrs. Newton said. On Wednesday, the children wore red and white paper hats like the one in Dr. Seuss famous book, "The Cat in the Hat." Then they ate green eggs and ham which Mrs. Newton cooked in the classroom at Tilford Elementary. Most of them at the eggs; a few were reluctantly to try them.

But those who did try them said the same thing that they read in the famous book: "I do like them!"
