Tristin Saghin and his family were visiting his grandmother in Mesa, Arizona when his mother discovered his 2-year-old sister floating in the backyard pool. She pulled the child out, and Tristin started performing CPR, a skill he learned from watching television. Paramedics responded soon afterward, and the girl is expected to fully recover.

Seven stories by Dr. Seuss that appeared in magazines sixty years ago but have never been available in a book will now be published in book form. These stories were in written as the author was changing from writing in prose to his more familiar rhyming poetry.

The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories by Dr. Seuss, who died in 1991, will be available September 27. It includes "The Bear, the Rabbit, and the Zinniga-Zanniga," about a rabbit who is saved from a bear with a single eyelash; "Gustav the Goldfish," an early, rhymed version of the book A Fish Out of Water; "Tadd and Todd," a tale passed down via photocopy to generations of twins; "Steak for Supper," about creatures who follow a boy home in anticipation of a steak dinner; "The Bippolo Seed," in which a scheming feline leads an innocent duck to make a bad decision; "The Strange Shirt Spot," which was the inspiration for the bathtub-ring scene in The Cat in the Hat Comes Back; and "The Great Henry McBride," about a boy whose far-flung career fantasies are only bested by those of the real Dr. Seuss. The stories were published in magazines in 1950 and 1951. Random is publishing the book as a $15 hardcover.

Adults, with their experience, pretty much agree on how to perceive people, objects, and situations in the real world. Children, on the other hand, are more fluid because the world is newer to them. They also have a tendency to see possibilities as opposed to a static current state. Jeff Wysaski at Pleated Jeans has 13 of these comparisons that will make you smile. Link

You know that period in a child's life where he/she knows what jokes are, and even knows the common forms, but doesn't have the experience or context to know how or why they are funny? That's when they want to make up their own jokes, which are hilarious in how totally un-jokelike they are! -via Buzzfeed
