University Press returns with another short and captivating biography of one of history's most compelling figures, Dr. Seuss. Dr. Seuss is one of the most prolific and celebrated American authors of the 20th century. His iconic books, cartoons, illustrations, and films have helped millions of children learn how to read words and understand the world. From the Cat in the Hat to the Lorax and Horton. From the Grinch who stole Christmas to the Green Eggs and Ham. There are lessons for all. For, as Horton once said, A person's a person, no matter how small. Born in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2, 1904, Theodore Seuss Geisel saw his family's brewery closed by Prohibition, got busted for drinking, was voted Least Likely to Succeed, graduated from Dartmouth, dropped out of Oxford, coined the word nerd, created propaganda, got into advertising, wrote 60 books, sold 600 million, won Pulitzer and Peabody and Academy Awards, and was designated a cultural icon in Life Books 100 People Who Changed the World. This short book tells the intensely human story of a man who changed the world in a way that no one else could.
