Enjoy an early birthday celebration of favorite children’s author Dr. Seuss, as the Pleasanton Public Library presents “The Amazing Tales of Dr. Seuss” presented by Bob Kann on Saturday, February 21 at 2:00 p.m.

Kann is a popular storyteller, juggler and magician, who also has a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction. He will share stories about the life of Seuss and explain where many of the icon’s ideas originated. For example, it took Dr. Seuss nine months of failed efforts before he stumbled upon the two rhyming words that launched The Cat in the Hat. Or, how Dr. Suess once forgot to close the window and the wind blew a doodle of an elephant on top of a drawing of a tree---which spawned the concept for Horton Hatches the Egg.

No registration is required for this 30-minute program which is best suited for children ages 5 and older. The performance will begin at 2:00 p.m., with doors closed to late arrivals once the program begins. Free tickets will be distributed in the Children’s area beginning at 1:30 p.m.
