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.

This is true, in a way, because Dr Seuss did write more books which were illustrated by other people. Other books which are published as Dr Seuss books were actually written after his death by other people, based on Dr Seuss's own notes and drawings. Dr Seuss, whose real name was Ted Geisel, died in 1991. The following books were published after his death: Daisy-Head Mayzie (1994) was written after Ted's death, based on his sketches and notes. My Many Colored Days (1996) was written by Dr Seuss in 1973, well before he died. For some reason (I haven't been able to find out why) it was only published for the first time after his death. Hooray For Diffendoofer Day! (1998) was written after Ted's death, based on his sketches and notes. .

  • Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr
    Hey Kids, Meet Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) American Cartoonist (1922-2000) Theodor Seuss Geisel was born March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. His father, Theodor Robert Geisel, and grandfather were brewmasters in the city. His mother, Henrietta Seuss Geisel, often put Ted and his sister Marnie to sleep with rhymes she remembered from her childhood. It was his mother that Ted credits for his ability to create rhymes. Ted's memories of his youth in Springfield can be seen throughout his books. Illustrations of Horton along streams in the Jungle of Nool recall the watercourses in Springfield's Forest Park while the truck driven by Sylvester McMonkey McBean in The Sneetches may very well be the tractor that Ted saw on the streets of his hometown. In the fall of 1921 Ted left Springfield to attend Dartmouth College. While there he became editor-in-chief of the Dartmouth College's Jack-O-Lantern humor magazine. Each contribution was signed "Seuss". It was the first time we would use his middle name to identify his work. In an attempt to please his father, Ted went on to Oxford University in England after graduating from Darmouth. While at Oxford he met his wife Helen Palmer. He also discovered that academic studies bored him so he left the university and traveled Europe instead. When Geisel returned to the United States he began to pursue a career as a cartoonist. The Saturday Evening Post published a few of his early cartoons but most of his efforts were devoted to creating advertising campaigns for Standard Oil.

Jana Hegerová 2 Acknowledgments My profound appreciation goes to my supervisor PhDr. Alena Dobrovolná, Ph.D. for her valuable guidance and useful feedback during the writing process. 3 Prohlášení Prohlašuji, že jsem závěrečnou práci vypracovala samostatně, s využitím pouze citovaných pramenů, dalších informací a zdrojů v souladu s disciplinárním řádem pro studenty Pedagogické fakulty Masarykovy univerzity a se zákonem č. 121/2000 Sb., o právu autorském, o právech souvisejících s právem autorským a o změně některých zákonů (autorský zákon), ve znění pozdějších předpisů. V Brně dne 5. června 2020 .............................. Mgr. Jana Hegerová 4 Annotation Learning English language might be challenging whether it is someone’s first or second (third and so on) language. Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, wrote many books for children using a limited vocabulary mostly consisting of monosyllabic words that rhyme. This fact allows the reader to learn this vocabulary in a very playful way. Using Dr. Seuss’s books in language classes might be a great way to teach vocabulary to children. Children not only enjoy the rhymes and stories, but there are also “hidden” moral messages in each book that might be discussed in the classroom. The key aim for this thesis is to raise awareness of Dr. Seuss’s books as a very useful source of enjoyment during the teaching and learning process in schools. This thesis contains lesson plans based on Dr.

  • If I Ran The… TCG Member Theatre TCG Conference June 4, 2009
    If I Ran the… TCG Member Theatre TCG Conference June 4, 2009 KAREN KANDEL: Reading from If I Ran the Zoo, by Dr. Seuss: “It’s a pretty good zoo,” Said young Gerald McGrew, “And the fellow who runs it Seems proud of it too. But if I ran the zoo,” Said young Gerald McGrew, “I’d make a few changes. That’s just what I’d do. The lions and tigers and that kind of stuff They have up here now are not quite good enough. You see things like these in any old zoo. They’re awfully old­fashioned. I want something new! So I’d open each cage, I’ll unlock every pen, Let the animals go and start over again. And somehow or other I think I could find Some beasts of some beasts of a more unusual kind. A four­footed lion’s not much of a beast. The one in my zoo will have 10 feet at least. Five legs on the left and five more on the right. Then people will stare, and they’ll say, ‘What a sight!’ My New Zoo, McGrew Zoo, will make people talk. My new zoo, McGrew zoo, will make people gawk. They’ll be so surprised, they’ll swallow their gum. They’ll ask when they see my strange animals come, ‘Where do you suppose he gets things like that from?’ If you want to catch beasts you don’t see every day, You have to go places quite out of the way. You have to go places no others can get to.

  • Was the Cat in the Hat Black?: Exploring Dr. Seuss's Racial
    Was the Cat in the Hat Black?: Exploring Dr. Seuss’s Racial Imagination Philip Nel Children's Literature, Volume 42, 2014, pp. 71-98 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/chl.2014.0019 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/546522 Access provided at 14 Jan 2020 17:25 GMT from Syracuse University Was the Cat in the Hat Black?: Exploring Dr. Seuss’s Racial Imagination Philip Nel In 1955, Dr. Seuss and William Spaulding—director of Houghton Mifflin’s educational division—stepped into the publisher’s elevator at 2 Park Street in Boston. As Seuss’s biographers tell us, the elevator operator was an elegant, petite woman who wore white gloves and a secret smile (Morgan and Morgan 154). They don’t mention that she was Annie Williams, nor do they say that she was African American (Silvey). Seuss was on that elevator because Spaulding thought he could solve the Why Johnny Can’t Read crisis by writing a better reading primer. When Seuss sketched this book’s feline protagonist, he gave him Mrs. Williams’s white gloves, her sly smile, and her color. However, she is but one African American influence on Seuss’s most famous character. One source for that red bow tie is Krazy Kat, the black, ambiguously gen- dered creation of biracial cartoonist George Herriman (Cohen 325). Seuss, who admired what he called “the beautifully insane sanities” of Krazy Kat (qtd. in Nel, Dr. Seuss 70), also draws upon the traditions of minstrelsy—an influence that emerges first in a minstrel show he wrote for his high school.
