A collection of teachings from the master teacher.

This is a small book containing selected lines and verse from the many works of Theodore Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss). I read the whole thing in like 10 or 15 minutes, but it was very amusing and really illustrated the many lessons that we all learned (whether we knew that we were learning or not!) from all of the wonderous Dr. Seuss books that we read when we were young.

A wonderful walk down memory lane and valuable lessons on how to be a better person and live a better life!

I love history and this book is an easy to read and fascinating look at all the men who signed the United States Constitution. Some of them are well known but many more have been all but lost to everyone but historians. It's a shame because they all contributed to our great nation and deserve to be known and read about. I encourage everyone to read this book and find out a little something about the men who created our nation.
