30.1 - Schatzie's task: Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

[Dlmrose, Moderator Emeritus]

30.1 - Schatzie’s Task: Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss
I wanted to celebrate his contribution to the reading world. My kids loved these books.

This is a two book task. Pick 2 different options and read one book for each option. Identify the options when you post.

Option A: One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
Read a book with all the letters “R-E-D-B-L-U- E” in the TITLE. These letters can appear in any order. Subtitles will NOT be used for this option.

Option B: The Cat in the Hat
My girls loved Thing 1 and Thing 2. For this option, read a book with at least 2 items on the cover that are identical. It could be identical twins (dressed alike) or objects like 2 pencils, 2 shoes, 3+ sheep in a flock, etc. that are the same color and could be interchanged.
REQUIRED: Include the cover when posting and state what your identical items are.

Option C: Go, Dog, Go
My boys loved this book. It is one of the first books they learned to read from. For this option, read a book that is identified on Goodreads as #1 in a series that is new to you AND the TITLE can only have exactly 3 words. Every word counts, even the little ones. Spaces determine words. Subtitles will NOT be used for this option.
REQUIRED: State that the series is new to you when posting.

Option D: Oh the Places you will go!
Read a book with “Travel” as a main page genre.

[Donna]

Hi Heather (Gibby)

Your book works. Happy reading.

[Nicole]

Would this work for B? Several of the windows seem interchangeable.

[Donna]

Nicole wrote: "

Hi Nicole, I don't think this works. No 2 windows looked identical to me.

[Nicole]

Donna wrote: "Nicole wrote: "

Hi Nicole, I don't think this ..."

Actually- the ones adjacent to each other on each level are identical- it's just tricky to tell because of the fire escapes. I understand if you disagree though and will obviously abide by your ruling.

[Diane]

Would the two bicycles on the cover of this work for option B?

Hi Diane, Those 2 bikes aren't identical. Sorry to prolong your hunt.

[Diane]

Donna wrote: "Diane wrote: "Would the two bicycles on the cover of this work for option B? "


Hi Diane, Those 2 bikes..."

Thanks; no problem, I will look for something else.
