Fun Facts About Dr. Seuss • Dr Seuss’S Real Name Was Theodor Seuss Geisel but His Friends and Family Called Him ‘Ted’
Fun Facts about Dr. Seuss • Dr Seuss’s real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel but his friends and family called him ‘Ted’. • Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on 2 March 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. • Ted worked as a cartoonist and then in advertising in the 1930s and 1940s but started contributing weekly political cartoons to a magazine called PM as the war approached. • The first book that was both written and illustrated by Theodor Seuss Geisel was And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. The book was rejected 27 times before being published in 1937. • The Cat in the Hat was written as a result of a 1954 report published in Life magazine about illiteracy among school children. A text-book editor at a publishing company was concerned about the report and commissioned Ted to write a book which would appeal to children learning to read, using only 250 words given to him by the editor. • Ted was fascinated by research into how babies develop in the womb and whether they can hear and respond to the voices of their parents. He was delighted to find that The Cat in the Hat had been chosen by researchers to be read by parents to their babies while the babies were still in utero . • Writing as Dr Seuss, Theodor Seuss Geisel wrote and illustrated 44 children's books. and These books have been translated into more than 15 languages and have sold over 200 million copies around the world.

His father, Theodor Robert, and grandfather were brewmasters and enjoyed great financial success for many years. Coupling the continual threats of Prohibition and World War I, the German-immigrant Geisels were targets for many slurs, particularly with regard to their heritage and livelihoods. In response, they were active participants in the pro-America campaign of World War I. Thus, Ted and his sister Marnie overcame such ridicule and became popular teenagers involved in many different activities.

Dr. Seuss (Aka Ted Geisel, Theo. Lesieg, Rosetta Stone) 1
Theodore Seuss Geisel, known to most as Dr. Seuss, wrote over 70 books by the time he died at age 87 in 1991. Most were written under the name Dr. Seuss (which, by the way he pronounced Soice—rhymes with voice, but others were written under the name Theo. LeSieg—which is Geisel spelled backwards—and one under the name of Rosetta Stone. One of the most amazing things he did for kids was create (with the help of friends) Beginning Reader Books. In the 1950’s a report came out that stated ill-literacy among kids was growing. They blamed it on BORING early readers. Dr. Seuss's friend and editor challenged him to write a story with less than 250 important words for early readers and make it fun for kids. And that is how The Cat in the Hat was “born” and Beginning Reader Books came to be. Dr. Seuss (aka Ted Geisel, Theo. LeSieg, Rosetta Stone) 1. 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins, The (1938) 34.
