  1. Author Study Ted Geisel – aka Dr. Seuss By Lisa Coyle for LLC 5790

  2. The Early Years Dr. Seuss is my author; Dr. Seuss, he’s the one! By reading his books kids have had lots of fun! Ted Geisel’s his real name, as some of you know. He lived in Springfield, where he started to grow.

  3. College Years and Early Work He wrote a few satires and did illustrations. His ads for Flit bug spray inspired the nation. And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street Was his first book ever published. Isn’t that neat? At Dartmouth he studied, became editor-in-chief Of the mag Jack O’Lantern, for comic relief. He then went to Oxford; no degree did it yield. He wed Helen Palmer and returned to Springfield.

  4. Geisel’s War Efforts Geisel hated Mussolini and Hitler, the fascists. He backed FDR and supported the “rationists”. He drew for the Army, “Snafu” was his man. He won two Oscars for his writing was grand.

  5. Seuss and Children’s Lit Seuss learned kids were bored by the primers they read, So he started inventing fun tales in his head. He wrote about Yertle; He told about Sneeches. His books about fish were read on the beaches!

  6. Loving a Challenge! Just 220 words for new readers told the tale of two Things and The Cat who’s their leader. Children were thrilled by Seuss’ fun style. His fanciful drawings could make anyone smile.

  7. A Friend’s Wager and a New Book Bennett Cerf was a publisher, and he was Ted’s friend. His bet, “Only 50 words to tale’s end.” The result was the famous: Green Eggs and Ham. With that ever-relentless chap, “Sam I Am”.

  8. New Formats and Friends Cartoons and books can both be quite groovy, but modern kids see Seuss’ creatures in movies! First came the Grinch, then Horton heard the Who’s noise. Jim Carrey played Grinch, but he was just Horton’s voice.

  9. The Controversial Seuss Both books end with questions to make readers think: How can we continue with life on the brink? In ‘71 the Lorax appeared with alarm, “The Truffula trees must stop being harmed!” In ‘84 the Cold War was increasing; Seuss showed Zooks and Yooks in war never ceasing.

  10. Awards Galore! A Laura Ingalls Wilder, a garden, a fountain -- With all his awards, you really could build a mountain! In 2004 the ALA did proclaim that to honor his work they’d award in his name. He got one more Oscar, a Pulitzer, a Peabody, and three Caldecotts ‘cuz his drawing’s not shoddy! He has seven doctorates, all honorary, two Emmys and more ‘cuz he’s so literary!
