All About Dr. Seuss    Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts, to Theodor Robert Geisel and Henrietta Seuss Geisel. At age 18, Geisel left home to attend Dartmouth College, where he became the editor in chief of its humor magazine, Jack-O-Lantern. When Geisel and his friends were caught drinking in his dorm room one night he was kicked off the magazine staff, but continued to contribute to it using the pseudonym "Seuss." Theodor Seuss Geisel then became better known to the world as the beloved Dr. Seuss. To please his father, who wanted him to be a college professor, Ted went on to Oxford University in England after graduation. After returning to the United States, Ted began to pursue a career as a cartoonist.  The influence of Ted's memories of Springfield can be seen throughout his work. Ted's first children's book, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, is filled with Springfield imagery. Getting the first book that he both wrote and illustrated, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, published, however, required a great degree of persistence - it was rejected 27 times before being published. The Cat in the Hat, perhaps the defining book of his career, he wrote and illustrated using only 225 "new-reader" vocabulary words.  At the time of his death on September 24, 1991, Ted had written and illustrated 44 children's books. His books have been translated into more than 15 languages.
