Dr. Seuss Fans Hurry to Kohl's

The current Kohl's Cares for Kids Program promotion is themed toward four of Dr. Seuss's stories with books and plush animals. These items are being sold exclusively at Kohl's and are designed to allow you to travel back in time when you were a kid and share your love of Dr. Seuss with your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and all of your other loved ones.

"Horton Hatches the Egg", a book first copyrighted in 1940 by Random House Publishers, is being sold at the department store. The 54 page hardcover book, written and illustrated by Dr. Seuss, is a perfect gift for children ages 2 to 7 and those young at heart. According to CNN, the story of Horton was meant as a parable to post-war relations between the United States, Japan and the Soviet Union.
