## Dr. Seuss's Backstory

### Early life

Theodor Seuss Geisel was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, on March 2, 1904; Seuss was his mother's maiden name.[4][6] His father managed the family brewery and later supervised the city's public parks.[9][5] At Dartmouth, where he majored in English, he wrote for the humor magazine *Jack-O-Lantern*; after he was caught drinking during Prohibition and barred from it, he kept contributing under the name "Seuss."[13] He graduated in 1925 and went on to Lincoln College, Oxford, and in 1927 he married Helen Palmer.[18][9][5]

### Cartoonist and first books

Back in the United States he worked as a magazine cartoonist and advertising illustrator.[18] His first children's book, *And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street*, appeared in 1937, followed by *The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins* and *Horton Hatches the Egg*.[20][10] In 1943 he joined Frank Capra's Signal Corps unit, making Army training films and documentaries.[6] After the war he and Helen settled in La Jolla, California, where he lived for the rest of his life.[1][7]

### The Cat in the Hat and Beginner Books

*The Cat in the Hat* (1957) was written to a limited vocabulary list for beginning readers, and it became the first book of Beginner Books, the Random House imprint he co-founded.[2][16] *How the Grinch Stole Christmas!* came out the same year, and *Green Eggs and Ham* and *One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish* followed in 1960.[18][10] Books he wrote but did not illustrate appeared under the name Theo. LeSieg.[14]

### Later years

Helen died in 1967, and in 1968 he married Audrey Stone Dimond.[5] His later books included *The Lorax* (1971), *The Butter Battle Book* (1984) and *You're Only Old Once!* (1986), which was written for adults.[3] He received the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award in 1980 and, in 1984, a special Pulitzer Prize honoring nearly half a century of work for children.[15][1] *Oh, the Places You'll Go!* appeared in 1990; he died in La Jolla on September 24, 1991, aged 87.[3][19]

### After his death

Seven more Dr. Seuss books have been published since, among them *What Pet Should I Get?* (2015) and *Dr. Seuss's Horse Museum* (2019), both from manuscripts found in his home.[11][23] In 2021 Dr. Seuss Enterprises stopped publishing six of his books because of racist and insensitive imagery.[20]

## Fun facts

## Myth and record

- Claim: "Seuss" rhymes with "juice," the way nearly every reader says it.[17]
  The record: The family name, which was his mother's maiden name, was pronounced in the German way, to rhyme with "voice"; the "juice" pronunciation stuck in America, and Geisel adopted it, liking that it rhymed with Mother Goose.[6][17]
- Claim: Dr. Seuss was "canceled" in 2021, with his books banned; a Virginia school district had to dispel rumors that it was banning them.[21]
  The record: Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the company that manages his work, decided on its own to stop publishing and licensing six titles because of racist and insensitive imagery, after a review with a panel of experts; his other books remain in print.[20][21]
