So, please bare with me because Im on a serious Dr. Seuss kick these past few days. Did you know that he won a Pulitzer? My nephew was recently asked to figure out when he won it by his teacher.

Dr. Seuss is known in homes for his comical stories with positive messages that have helped children throughout the United States learn to read. Because of their simple words that even the youngest of children can understand and their fun rhyme scheme, Dr. Seuss stories are perfect for young children that are learning how to read.

Despite all the admiration his fans have for his work, few of Dr. Seuss’ readers ask themselves: “When did Dr. Seuss win the Pulitzer Prize?” In 1984, Dr. Seuss was awarded Pulitzer Prize Special Citation Award “for his contribution over nearly half a century to the education and enjoyment of America’s children and their parents.” One of the judges on the committee that awarded it to him said it was “one of the fastest decisions ever made for this prize.”

I buy his books here.
