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.<br><br>Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and three Academy Awards, Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 children's books, some of which have been made into audiocassettes, animated television specials, and videos for children of all ages. Even after his death in 1991, Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling author of children's books in the world.
The books were exactly as expected and in new condition.
Love everything about the book. Not crazy on how long it took to get to our home.
Fun book - my daughter enjoyed it so much when she turned 4 that we had to buy some for friends. Came in perfect condition.
I LOVE this book. I've given this book to every kid I've babysit. all my neices & nephews, and my great-neices & great-nephews. It's a great book to give to them around age 7 when they can write pretty good and answer all the questions about themselves. Then hang on to the book and look back on when they are an adult. Great book! Highly Recommend!
Just what I wanted! My son had this book when he was a kid, my grandchildren love to read what he wrote in it. Now they will each have their own.
