Nice, brief bio about Dr. Seuss. My 4 year old enjoyed it and learned more about someone he knows. The book prompted questions which made it feel interactive.

This biography was very interesting as i found it cool that information could be compressed in a way that small children would understand it. I personally thought that this book would be perfect for children in the 2nd grade as they can practice their reading skills and learn about a famous author. I think it is cool way to teach children small facts about famous people. I liked the pictures on the side that went with the text. I think the most important thing that i found about the book was that it didnt fill the children with facts that they would not remember but it was concise and to the point. I however was left interested in learning more so maybe there should have been a bit more of information. I would like to use this book as an introductory book to when we go over Dr. Seuss books in class. I think this will give students a better idea about who they are reading about and maybe even make connections to what they are reading.
