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 children's book, And To
Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937, and
the world of children's literature was changed
forever! In 1957, Seuss's The Cat in the Hat became the
prototype for one of Random House's best- selling 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 children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the
consciousness of four generations of youngsters and
parents. In the process, he helped kids learn to
read. |
