Remembering Dr Seuss

Theodor Seuss "Ted" Geisel was an American children's author, political cartoonist, illustrator, poet, animator, screenwriter, and filmmaker. He is known for his work writing and illustrating more than 60 books under the pen name Dr. Seuss.

The Seussville site below is worth visiting for more on this author and his books.

Boring school primers were said to be a major cause of children not wanting to read, and this challenged Dr. Seuss to “write a story that first-graders can’t put down,” while using only 225 words chosen from a list of 348. Dr. Seuss accomplished the task using 236! He chose the first two rhyming words on the list and created The Cat in the Hat! Beginner readers will love this version of Ten Apples Up On Top.
