The man behind "The Cat in the Hat" would have turned 106 today and to celebrate, we're sharing this: The first children's book Dr. Seuss illustrated was "The Pocket Book of Boners" back in 1931. (Turns out that "boner" is also slang for a "clumsy or stupid mistake" -- the book was the first of a four-part series that culminated in "The Unabridged Book of Boners.") In honor of the Good Doctor, the NEA has declared this "Read Across America" day, and is staging pajama read-ins and other wacky hijinks at schools around the nation.
