LIBRARY
It's a Birthday Bash - Thursday, Feb. 28
What do Benjamin Bickle-Baum, bingle bugs, the Bubble-Tub Club, Bartholomew Cubbins, a
harp-twanging snarp, drum-tummied snumms, and fiffer-feffer-feffs have in common? Along
with their more famous contemporaries--like the Lorax, Grinch, and Cat in the Hat--each
sprang from the magnificent mind of Dr. Seuss. Of course they did, you silly sneedle! With
more than 50 books, most still in print, Dr. Seuss was one of the most prolific writers of his
time-and he continues to be a favorite of everyone, everywhere. The Colleyville Public
Library takes its (Cat in the) Hat off to the famed author with a birthday celebration on
Thursday, Feb. 28, from 3:30-4:30 p.m. The event is free, no registration is required, and
everyone is invited to enjoy some Seuss-worthy silliness. For more information, call
817.503.1150.
