Theodor Seuss Geisel (; March 2, 1904 – September 24, 1991) was an American writer
and cartoonist, better known by his pen name, Dr. Seuss (often, but he himself said ).
He published over 48 children's books, which were often characterized by his
imaginative characters, rhyme, and frequent use of trisyllabic meter. His most notable
books include the bestselling classics Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, and
One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. His work has been adapted numerous times,
including eleven television specials, three feature films, and a Broadway musical.
Geisel also worked as an illustrator for advertising campaigns, most notably for Flit and
Standard Oil, and as a political cartoonist for PM, a New York magazine. During World
War II, he joined the Army to work in an animation department of the Air Force, where he
wrote Design for Death, a film that later won the 1947 Academy Award for Documentary
Feature.
