A Dr. Seuss Night

It's no secret that this summer has been hot. That's unfortunate, since Libby and Mary's parents happen to own a house that is not air conditioned. The heat doesn't usually bother Libby. Once she's asleep, she's usually okay. Mary, however, is like her mother, and really can't function like a normal human being when it's hot out. Last night, though, it was Libby who woke up after about an hour in bed covered in sweat. So, she got to spend the night in bed with Mom and Dad where it's cool. Well, Mom and Dad like to read before bed, so Libby got in on the act. Little did Libby know that both she and Mom have Dr. Seuss as their author of choice before going to bed--Mom was into The Foot Book while Libby went for Dad's all-time favorite, Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb!
