With National Read Across America Day (Dr. Seuss Day) coming up soon, I know that many of you might be looking for fun Dr. Seuss themed ideas! I’ve shared quite a few of our favorite Dr. Seuss Treat ideas over the years, but this year I thought I’d share one of the easiest of all, just in case you are a little short on time.

In this Beginner Book edited by Dr. Seuss, young readers will laugh and giggle at the antics of Spot who wants to be in the zoo with the other animals. Written by Robert Lopshire, many associate this book with Dr. Seuss as this book is part of the Beginner Books series that encourages young readers to love books!
