Born on March 2, 1904, Theodor Seuss Geisel was born, and who could have thought of the impact that he would have on every child in the world. Theodor Seuss Geisel's mother always wanted him to be a Doctor, but he wanted to be an artist. In college he was banned from all extra curricular activities, including a humor magazine called Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern. In order to continue contributing to the magazine, he began using the pen name of Seuss. After college when he began writing children's books he added the title Dr. and so began the inspiring rhymes and illustrations of Dr. Seuss.
At the time, the "See Dick Run" books were the way to teach kids to read, and lets face it, they are some pretty boring books. Dr. Seuss agreed, so he wrote his own books full of rhyme and fun with colorful and beautiful illustrations. He filled childhood after childhood with fun ways to learn and lessons hidden in The Cat in the Hat, the Lorax, Horton, Sam I am and so many other lovable characters.
Here is a list of Dr. Seuss books
