Oh the things you can think (when you think about Seuss)

It's been a Seussian spring in Sioux Falls! There currently is an amazing exhibit at the Washington Pavilion on the art and science of Dr. Seuss. It's an amazing experience, and highly recommend it! The exhibit features artwork, including early cartooning in which you can trace the evolution of what is now considered Seussian style.

Behind the scenes, late at night, dr Seuss created a fright
With pieces and parts sent from a zoo
And creativity too
Theodore Geisel created something frightful
Call unorthodox taxidermy
This exhibit made little man and I quite squirmy

Do you have eyes? Do you have a heart?
Then come see Dr Seuss' secret art!
He was quite a talent, that is not in doubt
These pieces were different from his books
They were drawn in secret, not to be let out
Insight into what his mind looks

There's sculptures too!
Some for me some for you
A cat in the hat
And many more
Are part on this special display on the floor

In addition to Seuss falls, Little Man's 4th grade did a performance of songs from Seussical. It was a great performance, and those kids are so talented!

As a way to wrap up our Seussian spring, we went to see Seussical at the Washington Pavilion. It was an amazing performance that was thoroughly enjoyable! Little Man (and me too!) loved it!
