If you'll be involved in Read Across America Day activities on March 2, 2012, you may want to dress the part as a Dr. Seuss character! In the past I've dressed as the Cat in the Hat and Aunt Annie, but I wanted to do something different this year. I searched Pinterest* and Google Images for homemade costume ideas and was impressed by how creative folks can be.

Sleep Book: Red footed PJ’s
How the Grinch Stole Christmas: Cindy Lou Who (1), Cindy Lou Who (2), Cindy Lou Who (3), or dress as the Grinch in green hair, face and hands, and wear a Santa Suit and fake monster teeth (saw this on the web- great idea, huh?)
How about that? I'm leaning toward the cook idea, but I'd love to hear from you before I decide. Please leave a comment with your own ideas or things you've seen!
