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.

Summer reading required a nonfiction biography. This was a wonderful book for my 3rd grader who has loved Dr. Seuss books since he was really little and this was cool to learn about when some of the classic Seuss books were written and why he wrote them the way he did.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this series!

I wish this series had been around when I was a kid! So far, I have purchased Jim Henson, Dr. Seuss, George Lucas, The Beatles and Walt Disney for my son. These books are a great way for me to introduce the people who have always inspired me, to my own children. I believe that reading about different creative talents throughout history is not only a great way for kids to learn but also a great way to inspire them. We always have great conversations when we discuss the people from these books because we teach each other new things.

More than just a book about Dr. Seuss' life, this book places many of his most famous works in the context of both his life, and the world. This discusses events the affected him, and shaped the man he became, as well as how he learned, grew and evolved over his lifetime.

Near the end it brings up just how many Americans receive a Dr. Seuss book when they are first learning to read, and that "Oh, the Places You'll Go" has become a popular graduation gift. It is increasingly rare to meet someone who is unfamiliar with the work of Dr. Seuss, yet this book discusses the depth that was most likely lost on many of us as children.

I am using this book along with three others in this series with a student who likes to cartoon. We are working on his comprehension skills, so I chose a subject that he likes. We also read Ripley, Disney, Schultz, and we’re wrapping up with Suess.

娘がWalt Disney の本を買ったので真似してこの本を選びました。１冊１００ページ程度で英語好きな中学３年生なら読めると思います。（文法的にです）１センテンスが長くないので、英語の本を読んでみたいなーという人にはちょうどよいと思います。１チャプターも数ページなので、寝る前の１０分読むだけでもいいでしょう。Dr.Seussの本は持っていながらその楽しさがよくわからなかったのでこの人物を選びました。読んだ後はGREEN EGGS and HAMを読んでみたくなりました。彼の生きてきた時代の説明もところどころにあるので、アメリカから見た日本のことが書かれているのも興味深かったです。次はRoald Dahl を購入します。
