Who Was Dr. Seuss?

A boy who loved zoos and drawing silly animals
A college student voted "least likely to succeed"
An author and illustrator who changed children's books forever


Ted Geisel loved to doodle from the time he was a kid. He had an offbeat, fun-loving personality. He often threw dinner parties where guests wore outrageous hats! And he donned quirky hats when thinking up ideas for books-?like his classic The Cat in the Hat. This biography, with black-and-white illustrations throughout, brings an amazingly gifted author/illustrator to life.
