Biography of Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss wasmy inspirtation to begin reading as a child. One of the first books I ever read was The Foot Book, and I read it so much that I could probably still recite it by memory today. Dr. Seuss is an amazing author and his books are known for their unique rhyming text and loveable quotes. I know even as an adult some of his quotes are absolutely inspiring. Seuss has written and illustrated about 44 books and a lot of them have been made into films, such as The Grinch and The Cat and the Hat. Theodor Suess Geisel was born in Massachusetts and his family had immigrated from Germany. He went to Oxford with all intentions of earning his Ph.D, however he did not quite make it, so the "Dr" is in acknowledgement for his father's dreams for Seuss. His love for writing and drawing started at a young age. He was inspired to write children's book later on in his adult life when he had read an article about the low literacy rate of American schools due to the material not interesting children. As we know today, Dr. Seusss completely changed that for children and his books became famous for teaching young children how to read and sparking their passion for reading.
