Seuss
Last week, the world found out that a lone manuscript from Dr. Seuss would be published this summer. The book stars the same brother-sister pair as the Seuss book One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, and the manuscript was found by the author’s widow.
The long-lost book is the final send-off for Dr. Seuss — whose real name is Theodor Geisel — after his death in 1991. Geisel revolutionized the world of children’s books, creating a colorful reading alternative to the more mundane Dick and Jane primers that taught kids to read between the 1930s and the 1970s. His trademarks include the Cat in the Hat, Horton the elephant, the Lorax and many, many more beloved characters.
Here’s our tribute to Dr. Seuss, in the forms of a Seussian poem (read here), reasons why no grad should receive Oh, The Places You’ll Go! (read here), and a critical analysis of his famous quotes (read here). Below is a timeline of Seuss’ life and defining moments.
