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.
