Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, is one of the most highly regarded children’s book authors of all time. In this delightful biography, readers learn how Dr. Seuss created a world of imagination that entertained and educated children through books, rhymes, and hysterical drawings of strange creatures. His Green Eggs and Ham, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and The Cat in the Hat are among the most popular, best-selling books internationally. Geisel won three Caldecott Honor Awards, and he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for his contribution to the “education and enjoyment of America’s children and their parents.”

A kid's biography of Theodore Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, which gives a picture of his life--childhood, school days, early cartoons, first book, followed by a long & successful career as a children's book author of some of the most famous books & characters in the world. Lots of pictures & information. Very interesting.

Today is March 2nd, Read Across America Day and Dr. Seuss's Birthday! For that reason I read this book today and will say that it is a great introduction for children into the author's life. A simple biography but a nice timeline of his life!
