DR. SEUSS

Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2, 1904. After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford University, he began a career in advertising. His advertising cartoons, featuring Quick, Henry, the Flit!, appeared in several leading American magazines.
Dr. Seuss's first c***dren's book, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937, and the world of c***dren's literature was changed forever!



In 1957, Seuss's The Cat in the Hat became the prototype for one of Random House's bestselling series, Beginner Books. This popular series combined engaging stories with outrageous illustrations and playful sounds to teach basic reading skills.

Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of c***dren, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped k**s learn to read.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and three Academy Awards, Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 c***dren's books, some of which have been made into audiocassettes, animated television specials, and videos for c***dren of all ages. Even after his death in 1991, Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling author of c***dren's books in the world.
