Dr. Seuss
Dr. Seuss has captured the laughter and smiles of four
generations of readers. Theodor Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, was born in Springfield,
Mass., in 1904. He attended Dartmouth College and Oxford University, then pursued a career in advertising.
His first children's book, "And To Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,"
hit the stands in 1937 and changed the world of children's literature. One of his most famous works,
"The Cat in the Hat," spurred a popular series of stories filled with playful rhymes and humorous characters.
As the author and illustrator of 44 children's books, Dr. Seuss was the winner of the Pulitzer Prize and three
Academy Awards. Theodore Geisel died in 1991, but his works continue to
be bestsellers.
