And to Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street , Green Eggs and Ham , The Cat and the Hat , these and other classics have sold hundreds of millions of copies and entertained children and adults for decades. After graduating from Dartmouth, Theodor Geisel used his talents as an ad-man, political provocateur, and social satirist, gradually but irrevocably turning to children's books. Theodor Geisel tells the unlikely story of this remarkable transformation. In this compact and engrossing biography, Donald Pease reveals the evolution of Dr. Seuss's creative persona while offering an honest appraisal of his life. The book also features many of Dr. Seuss's lesser-known illustrations, including college drawings, insecticide ads, and wartime political cartoons--all of which offer a glimpse of his early artistic style and the visual origins of the more famous creatures that later populated his children's books. As Pease traces the full arc of Dr. Seuss's prolific career, he combines close textual readings of many of Dr. Seuss's works with a unique look at their genesis to shed new light on the enduring legacy of America's favorite children's book author. Review: Ties together many elements of a complex persona - Pease ties many elements of Geisel's life and works into a coherent biography. Geisel was under appreciated in his time, and now we have a well researched biography that gives us a clear picture of the man and his significance to our culture. Review: Great info - I really enjoyed this book. He's a very interesting and inspiring man. A lot of great information. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,292,659 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #313 in Children's Literary Criticism (Books) #4,718 in Author Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 72 Reviews | ## Images ![Theodor Geisel: A Portrait of the Man Who Became Dr. Seuss (Lives and Legacies Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614Xs8evdvL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ties together many elements of a complex persona *by R***F on August 14, 2014* Pease ties many elements of Geisel's life and works into a coherent biography. Geisel was under appreciated in his time, and now we have a well researched biography that gives us a clear picture of the man and his significance to our culture. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great info *by M***5 on October 3, 2016* I really enjoyed this book. He's a very interesting and inspiring man. A lot of great information. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr Seuss *by D***N on September 21, 2010* Professor Donald Pease has captured the genius of Theodor Seuss Geisel, along with the profound brilliance of Dr. Seuss' creativity and legacy. Children throughout the world have learned to laugh with Dr. Seuss and the Cat in the Hat and others. Lesser known, but equally brilliant, are Dr. Seuss political cartoons which spanned four decades. Don Pease captures it all, and we all laugh a bit deeper from reading his account of this one of a kind, Dr. Seuss.
