About the Author:
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.

Book," The Shape of Me and Other Stuff certainly
lives up to its billing. In this delightful book,
first published in 1973, kids are encouraged to
ponder shapes they may never have considered
before: "Just think about the shape of beans and
flowers and mice and big machines!" Dr. Seuss's
illustrations are in silhouette (for the purpose
of accenting the outlines of figures), but are
nonetheless up to par with his usual wacky,
amusing style.
