Do you know a Green Goddess?  No, not the creamy, decadent, bizarre colored salad dressing that is slathered all over lettuce and other such green vegetables.  But rather this term now refers to a gal who is environmentally conscious and goes to extremes in order to recycle just about everything.

And this book will be a sell-out, we bet!
I’ll pause with the corny prose now and share this spectacular, earth-shattering news. Even though the much loved Theodor Seuss Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, passed away over 20 years ago, his fans were flabbergasted when an unpublished manuscript of his work was recently unearthed.
