•Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts, on March 2, 1904.•He Attended Dartmouth College in 1925, then Oxford University.•At Oxford he met his future wife Helen Palmer•gained national exposure when he won an advertising contract for an insecticide called Flit, coined the phrase, "Quick, Henry, the Flit!" which became a popular expression.•Geisel developed the idea for his first children's book in 1936 while on a vacation cruise. The rhythm of the ship's engine drove the cadence to And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street.

•In May of 1954, Life published a report on illiteracy among schoolchildren, suggesting that children were having trouble reading because their books were boring•Geisel's publisher sent him a list of 400 words he felt were important for children to learn. He asked Geisel to cut the list to 250 words and use them to write an entertaining children's book. Nine months later, Geisel, using 220 of the words given to him, published The Cat in the Hat, which brought instant success.•Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and three Academy Awards, Geisel authored and illustrated 44 children's books•While Theodore Geisel died on September 24, 1991, Dr. Seuss lives on, inspiring generations of children of all ages to explore the joys of reading.
