Theodor Geisel, while using pen name of Dr. Seuss wrote 50 plus books for children. While his first children’s book, Also to Believe that I First viewed it On Mulberry Street was published in 1937 and that he had many successful books following it, his real genius emerged in 1957 with all the Cat inside the Hat. The Cat inside the Hat was the first Dr. Seuss book written with all the idea of teaching children to read. It was an immediate smash sensation.

His type of making learn-to-read books fun spawned the fishing line of Beginner Books randomly House which first Ted and then Helen Geisel helped shape and direct. Dr. Seuss’s fame grew as his book sales climbed, but he remained largely a private person. Theodor Geisel declared children were often surprised and disappointed after they met him. As quoted within the Lakeland Ledger on March 25, 1984, Geisel said, “When I show up, they appear at me and say, ‘What are you currently doing here? Where’s Dr. Seuss?’ They’re never satisfied with me since i don’t fit their description. They expect me to become wearing a big silly hat. They want my nose to illuminate. And when none of those things happens, they end up disappointed and disappear completely and new troops arrive.”
