• Find an online biography for Dr. Seuss (real name: Theodore Geisel). What other interesting facts can you learn about this author?

Watch the interview below with author John Green (The Fault in Our Stars).  There are several reasons he mentions why reading is so important. What is one reason he discusses that you had not thought of? How will that change how you read?
