Ted Geisel loved to doodle from the time he was a kid. He had an offbeat, fun-loving personality. He often threw dinner parties where guests wore outrageous hats! And he donned quirky hats when thinking up ideas for books-?like his classic The Cat in the Hat. This biography, with black-and-white illustrations throughout, brings an amazingly gifted author/illustrator to life.

lil_lil101Saturday, October 29, 2016 at 11:42 amI love the who was books they give you a lot of info about a topic- DraconislordMonday, August 29, 2016 at 7:31 amDr. Suess was a funny guy but I think that it was mean that he quickly remarried. I don't really like nonfiction and I didn't really like this one either but this Dr. Suess book was the best nonfiction book I';ve read. I advise you to read this and the Harry Houdini book.
