Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-Each spread in this brief biography contains no more than five sentences as well as one or two black-and-white or color photos, or color illustrations from Seuss's works. However, the book states that "After college, he drew cartoons for magazines. He changed his name to Dr. Seuss so he would seem more important." Other biographies indicate that Geisel began to use the pen name as an undergraduate at Dartmouth. Only one word, "characters," is shown phonetically in parentheses. The concluding spread, "Words You Know," has smaller versions of eight of the pictures, with identifying words-"cartoon," "Sneeches," "parade," etc. The photo of the cover of The Cat in the Hat is out of focus. An additional title for large collections that need more biographies for beginning readers.

This review is from: Dr. Seuss (Rookie Biographies) (Paperback)
This is a children's biography about Dr. Seuss that is written for the beginning reader with colorful pictures every other page but still contains some interesting facts. The point is reading can be fun. I was surprised to learn that Dr. Seuss wrote a book for adults as well called "You're Only Young Once." Quick read--only takes five minutes! Would be great educational bedtime story.
--Karen Arlettaz Zemek, author of "My Funny Dad, Harry"
