Summary
:
Horton, Yertle, the Grinch, and the Cat in the Hat are just a few of the bizarre and beloved characters Theodor S. Geisel (1904-1991), alias Dr. Seuss, created in his 47 children's books. During his lifetime, Dr. Seuss was honored with numerous degrees, three Academy Awards and a Pulitzer, but the man himself remaind a reclusive enigma. In this first and only biography of the good doctor, the authors deliver an intimate portrait of a dreamer who saw the world "through the wrong end of a telescope, " and invited us to enjoy the view.
