Dr. Seuss's infectious rhymes, fanciful creatures, and roundabout
plots not only changed the way children read but imagined the
world. And to Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, Green Eggs
and Ham,The Cat and the Hat, these and other classics have sold
hundreds of millions of copies and entertained children and adults
for decades. After graduating from Dartmouth, Theodor Geisel used
his talents as an ad-man, political provocateur, and social
satirist, gradually but irrevocably turning to children's books.
Theodor SEUSS Geisel tells the unlikely story of this remarkable
transformation. In this compact and engrossing biography, Donald
Pease reveals the evolution of Dr. Seuss's creative persona while
offering an honest appraisal of his life. The book also features
many of Dr. Seuss's lesser-known illustrations, including college
drawings, insecticide ads, and wartime political cartoons-all of
which offer a glimpse of his early artistic style and the visual
origins of the more famous creatures that later populated his
children's books. As Pease traces the full arc of Dr. Seuss's
prolific career, he combines close textual readings of many of Dr.
Seuss's works with a unique look at their genesis to shed new light
on the enduring legacy of America's favorite children's book
author.
