MileChai All Hebrew Dr Seuss' Books and
Now in
Yiddish, too
Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in
Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2, 1904.
After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford
University, he began a career in advertising.
His advertising cartoons, featuring Quick,
Henry, the Flit!, appeared in several leading
American magazines. Dr. Seuss's first
children's book, And To Think That I Saw It On
Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937, and
the world of children's literature was changed
forever! In 1957, Seuss's The Cat in the Hat
became the prototype for one of Random House's
best- selling series, Beginner Books. This
popular series combined engaging stories with
outrageous illustrations and playful sounds to
teach basic reading skills. Brilliant,
playful, and always respectful of children,
Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the
consciousness of four generations of
youngsters and parents. In the process, he
helped kids learn to read.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and three
Academy Awards, Seuss was the author and
illustrator of 44 children's books, some of
which have been made into audiocassettes,
animated television specials, and videos for
children of all ages. Even after his death in
1991, Dr. Seuss continues to be the
best-selling author of children's books in the
world.
