Cat in the Hat

Bradley International Airport is midway between Hartford, Connecticut, and Springfield, Massachusetts, though it is invariably called "Hartford" at gates and on flight boards.


Springfield is the birthplace of Theodore Geisel, who wrote and illustrated children's books under the name of "Dr. Seuss."  His birthday, March 2, is a nationwide reading celebration.
I flew out of Bradley yesterday -- March 2 -- and was treated to a strolling Seuss character.

That might have been a bit of a shock to those who have no kids, or come from cultures where Dr. Suess is not known!

Dr. Seuss characters are very much a part of our cultural heritage. Good to see this tribute, and I see "Thing 2" was also there.

Was the Cat behaving himself?

Lots of Dr Seuss celebrations at schools!

World Book Day is marked here by children going to school dressed up as fictional characters. All very worthy, though it means there are whole aisles of fancy-dress costumes in supermarkets - but no more books!
