Dr.Seuss

Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known to the world as the beloved Dr. Seuss, was born in 1904 on Howard Street in Springfield, Massachusetts. Ted's father, Theodor Robert, and grandfather were brewmasters in the city. His mother, Henrietta Seuss Geisel, often soothed her children to sleep by "chanting" rhymes remembered from her youth. Ted credited his mother with both his ability and desire to create the rhymes for which he became so well known.

At the time of his death on September 24, 1991, Ted had written and illustrated 44 children's books, including such all-time favorites as Green Eggs and Ham, Oh, the Places You'll Go, Fox in Socks, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. His books had been translated into more than 15 languages. Over 200 million copies had found their way into homes and hearts around the world.


I have most of his books.
My fave though is still Green eggs and ham.
whats yours?

To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, or On Beyond Zebra... I think Geisel worked-with Frank Capra and Ray Bradbury, during WWII Defense Department public-relations efforts...

Yep ... in fact there's a whole book of editorial cartoons that Suess did during WW2. his work wasn't always for kids.

Thanks for the link... I also like the story-from The Sneetches, with the empty pair-of-pants running-around scaring everybody...

Yertle the turtle - I loved that one.

I suppose he's good at writing children's books but what about novelists?

I read mostly horror.
I also love to read about true crimes. Ann Rule writes the best crime stories.

 

[daWabbit]

What about one of his lesser-known works, like "Who Shat In The Hat?"

Oh, The Places You'll Go!

 

[JazzManJim]

I loved Fox in Socks - still do. I used to have an album of the poem read by Sterling Holloway that I still remember to this day.

Oh, Geisel was also briefly an editorial cartoonist during World War II - what we today would call a rank propagandist. His editorial cartoons can be found on this site.

EDIT: There's a more comprehensive collection at this site.
