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.

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.
