Biography of Dr. Seuss, Popular Children's Author

Theodor Seuss Geisel (March 2, 1904–Sept. 24, 1991), who used the pseudonym "Dr. Seuss," wrote and illustrated 45 children’s books filled with memorable characters, earnest messages, and even limericks. Many of Dr. Seuss’s books have become classics, such as "The Cat in the Hat," "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!," "Horton Hears a Who," and "Green Eggs and Ham."

Geisel was a shy married man who never had children of his own, but he found a way as the author "Dr. Seuss" to spark children's imaginations around the world. With the use of silly words that set an original theme, tone, and mood for his stories, as well as curlicue drawings of rascally animals, Geisel created books that became beloved favorites of children and adults alike.

Wildly popular, Dr. Seuss’s books have been translated into over 20 languages and several have been made into television cartoons and major motion pictures.

Theodor Seuss Geisel (sooss GHY-zəl, zoyss -⁠;^[2]^[3]^[4] March 2, 1904 – September 24, 1991)^[5] was an American children's author and cartoonist. He is known for his work writing and illustrating more than 60 books under the pen name Dr. Seuss (sooss, zooss).^[4]^[6] His work includes many of the most popular children's books of all time, selling over 600 million copies and being translated into more than 20 languages by the time of his death.^[7]
Geisel adopted the name "Dr. Seuss" as an undergraduate at Dartmouth College and as a graduate student at Lincoln College, Oxford. He left Oxford in 1927 to begin his career as an illustrator and cartoonist for Vanity Fair, Life, and various other publications. He also worked as an illustrator for advertising campaigns, including for FLIT and Sta
In 1939, at the age of thirty-five, Theodor Seuss Geisel was tinkering with an invention that was doomed to failure. Geisel had published a few books under the name Dr. Seuss, but he was hoping that a device he had patented, the Infantograph, would be a money-maker at the techno-utopian New York World’s Fair, which was opening that year. “If you were to marry the person you are with,” the banner that Geisel designed for his pavilion asked, “what would your children look like? Come in and have your INFANTOGRAPH taken!” In the tent, a couple would sit side by side; a double-lensed camera would blend their features together, then plop a composite mug shot atop an image of a baby’s body. “It was a wonderful idea,” Geisel insisted, but, as a feat of engineering, it was more of an evocation of outlandish, off-kilter Seussian machinery than it was a functional prototype. After much fiddling, he scrapped his plans, admitting, “All the babies tended to look like William Randolph Hearst.”
