Read Across America Day: Top picks to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday

Today is March 2, otherwise known as Read Across America Day.

Throughout the country, parents, teachers and others will take time out of their day to read a book and help foster a love of literature.

The "official" selected reading is the Dr. Seuss classic "Oh the Places You'll Go!"

But if you are inspired to do a little extra credit reading, we've got some suggestions from Mara Alpert, children's librarian at the LA Public Library. 

What's your favorite Dr. Seuss book? You can tweet us at @TakeTwo or leave a post on our Facebook page here.
