The love for reading continues
The girls have been celebrating Dr. Seuss’ birthday this week at school with his silly characters and fun books. They get a hoot out of the made up words, funny pictures and tongue twisters that even get mommy and daddy to say the wrong thing.
Almost all of our Dr. Seuss books and stuffed animals are from the Kohl’s Cares program. My mom and sister really enjoy shopping there, so they often pick up one of the $5 Dr. Seuss books and plush toys. This Spring 2013 Kohl’s Cares merchandise program will be featuring Dr. Seuss books (The Cat in The Hat, Horton Hears a Who!, Sleep Book, ABC’s and Happy Birthday to You!) and corresponding plush toys.  From each book and toy purchase Kohl’s donates 100 percent of the net profit to children’s health and education initiatives nationwide.
Since the program’s inception in 2000, the Kohl’s Cares philanthropic program has raised more than $208 million for children’s health and education programs in local communities across the country. You can see that our family has helped make a little part of that. Back in 2006 when our first was born, she received four books and their matching characters which are still enjoyed today.Â
Even at just 2 months old (wayyyyy back in 2006), she was happy about her stuffed Grinch.
In addition to the merchandise program, Kohl’s Cares features a scholarship program, which recognizes more than 2,200 young volunteers each year with scholarships and prizes; the Associates in Action program, which encourages associate volunteerism and has donated more than $61 to youth-focused nonprofit organizations to date; and fundraising gift cards for schools and youth-serving nonprofit organizations.Â

What an awesome program. I love Dr. Suess and Kohl’s and love that they want to give back! And your little girl with the grinch is precious!
Thank you! It was sooooo long ago (over 6 years…ack, they grow up sooo fast!)
How cute! I want all of those stuffed guys! What a great organization.
No kidding. Not only are they super adorable, but $5? Can’t beat that.
I love the Kohl’s Cares campaign! We have been big supporters over the years and have acquired quite the collection of books and stuffies.
I was cleaning up the other day, and didn’t even realize how many more of our books we have from Kohl’s cares than I initially thought.
I haven’t read a Dr. Seuss book in ages but can definitely recall the laughs and rhymes. I’ll be honest, I kind of want those stuffed animals too. SO CUTE.
Oh, you should pick one up and give it a read…they are a hoot!
Such an amazing program! We are huge Dr. Seuss fans here! How precious is she snuggling with the grinch…so sweet!
How did she get to be 6 already? Snuggles are pretty hard to come by.
I love picking up a Kohls care book when I’m there, I have gotten some great books there in the past!
I just realized some of the Eric Carlisle books we have are from there, too.
Dr. Seuss is one of my favorites =) and love “Oh the places you’ll go” for graduation gifts!
good books, good pirce and 100% of the proceeds for childrens health and education. Win win all the way around. I also think DPS drivers should carry Dr. Suess books for DWI testing. They twist the tongue without a few adult beverges.
I do love those books and plushies. I can’t decide if I like the Grinch or the Sneetches better. When I was teaching, Dr. Seuss books were a favorite to use to teach difficult concepts on a middle school level. My kids LOVED the Sneetches! I think the milkshake may need a plushie Sneetch to go with the book we have. Guess that means a trip to Kohl’s! 🙂
You know we like the Sneetches.
yep, we have dr seuss day next week.
love these books and that they are only $5/
We had it this week for Kindergarten..I wonder if they will do it at preschool?
