Now on MileChai All Hebrew Dr Seuss'
Books
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.
