On March 2, 2005 Boston BookPALS joined Read Across America to commemorate Dr. Seuss� 101st birthday in a wonderful partnership to promote literacy and the love of reading. Classrooms of children across the city donned paper Cat in the Hat hats and BookPALS introduced them to the wonderful, whimsical characters of Theodor Seuss Geisel, who was a native of Springfield, Massachusetts.
In addition, BookPALS distributed certificates of participation, which were provided by the National Education Association for all the children "in the company of a book for half an hour." � You�re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So� get on your way!�
