Who Was Dr Seuss? 

Theodor Seuss Geisel March 2, 1904 - September 24, 1991) was an American writer and cartoonist, better known by his pen name, Dr. Seuss.

He published over 40 children's books, which were often characterized by his imaginative characters and frequent use of rhymed prose; his most notable books include the bestselling classics Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.

His work has been adapted numerous times, including eleven television specials, three feature films, and a Broadway musical.

Geisel also worked as an illustrator for advertising campaigns, most notably for Flit and Standard Oil, and as a political cartoonist for PM, a New York magazine.

During World War II, he joined the Army to work in an animation department of the Air Force, where he wrote Design for Death, a film that later won the 1947 Academy Award for Documentary Feature.

Dr Seuss and Boring Books 

After the war, Geisel and his wife moved to La Jolla, California.

Returning to children's books, he wrote what many consider to be his finest works, including such favorites as If I Ran the Zoo, (1950), Scrambled Eggs Super! (1953), On Beyond Zebra! (1955), If I Ran the Circus (1956), and How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1957).

At the same time, an important development occurred that influenced much of Geisel's later work.

In May 1954, Life magazine published a report on illiteracy among school children, which concluded that children were not learning to read because their books were boring.

Accordingly, Geisel's publisher made up a list of 400 words he felt were important and asked Geisel to cut the list to 250 words and write a book using only those words.

Nine months later, Geisel, using 220 of the words given to him, completed The Cat in the Hat. This book was a tour de force-it retained the drawing style, verse rhythms, and all the imaginative power of Geisel's earlier works, but because of its simplified vocabulary could be read by beginning readers.

A rumor exists, that in 1960, Bennett Cerf bet Geisel $50 that he couldn't write an entire book using only fifty words. The result was supposedly Green Eggs and Ham. The additional rumor that Cerf never paid Geisel the $50 has never been proven and is most likely untrue.

These books achieved significant international success and remain very popular.

Geisel went on to write many other children's books, both in his new simplified-vocabulary manner (sold as "Beginner Books") and in his older, more elaborate style.

In 1982 Geisel wrote "Hunches in Bunches". The Beginner Books were not easy for Geisel, and reportedly he labored for months crafting them.

At various times Geisel also wrote books for adults that used the same style of verse and pictures: The Seven Lady Godivas; Oh, The Places You'll Go!; and You're Only Old Once.
