Arizona Kid's
Net
Jokes usually don't need instructions (listen,
and then laugh or groan as appropriate) but the Az Kids Net Jokes
are interactive and require your participation by clicking or hovering
your mouse. Each joke section of Az Kids Net is formatted a little
differently, so you'll need to read the directions. For example, the
Knock Knock jokes require you to mouse over (but not click) on "Who's
there?" and then again on "Answer," while Silly States
needs a mouse click on the "Answer" button. All this clicking
and mousing adds up to great fun, so don't miss it.

King
Features Syndicate: Comics
Arranged alphabetically from The Amazing Spiderman
to Zits, King Features Syndicate offers thirty-day archives of dozens
of comics. In addition to the dailies and the archive, each comic
has a page about the cartoonist, its characters, and the strip's history.
Many of today's most popular cartoons have endured more than fifty
years, and are no longer being drawn by their creators. For example,
Dennis the Menace was introduced by Hank Ketcham in 1950. In 1994,
the strip was turned over to longtime assistants Ron Ferdinand and
Marcus Hamilton, but Ketcham continued to supervise until his death
in June 2001.

Dr.
Seuss: Characters and Unusual Creatures
Although this site lacks graphics and animation,
it's a valuable reference. Visit to peruse a list of all of Seuss'
books, followed by an alphabetic list of all his creatures (from Aaron,
the alligator to Zummers.) Did you know the word "nerd"
dates to 1950 when it first appeared in Dr. Seuss' "If I Ran
the Zoo"? "I'll sail to Ka-Troo And Bring Back an It-Kutch
a Preep and a Proo a Nerkle a Nerd and a Seersucker, too!"

Dr.
Seuss National Memorial
Geisel was born in Springfield, Massachusetts,
which is now home to the Dr. Seuss National Memorial. Best bets are
the Geisel biography (All About Dr. Seuss), the tour of the sculpture
garden (National Memorial), and Dr. Seuss Art Gallery. Although all
the work at the gallery is for sale, you don't need to buy it to enjoy
it. Be sure to view the Secret Art Gallery, which displays art not
created for any of his books.

Infoplease:
Dr. Seuss
"His books were originally considered too
outlandish to appeal to children. His first, 'And to Think That I
Saw it on Mulberry Street' (1937), was reputedly rejected by twenty-eight
publishers before it finally found a home at Random House." Infoplease
brings us an excellent one page bio, and related articles from their
encyclopedia. Best link is Grinchy Trivia, which compares the 2000
live action movie and the 1966 TV movie with the original "How
the Grinch Stole Christmas!" book.

Learning starts from wondering, and another
purpose of this site is to serve as a resource for things, simple

topics according to their simplicity. There must be an element of
discovery involved to enhance a learning experience.
