(AP) -- From the squiggly pink handrails outside the entrance to the front hall decorated with scenes from "And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street" - a real street just blocks away - the new Amazing World of Dr. Seuss museum says "You're off to Great Places!" Walking into to the museum opening to the public Saturday in the author and illustrator's hometown of Springfield Massachusetts is like walking into one of his beloved children's books. The museum dedicated to Theodor Geisel - who under the pen name Dr. Seuss wrote and illustrated dozens of rhyming children's books including "The Cat in the Hat" and "Green Eggs and Ham" - features interactive exhibits artwork never before displayed publicly and explains how his childhood experiences in the city about 90 miles (145 kilometers) west of Boston shaped his work. "He would absolutely be at ease here" said Leagrey Dimond one of Geisel's stepdaughters (He didn't have any biological children). "And to know that he's going to be here permanently safe protected that people who want to know more are going to make this trip here to see him it's perfect."
