Theodor Seuss Geisel (March 2, 1904 - September 24, 1991), better known by the pen name Dr. Seuss was an American author who is well known for his many books for children. Seuss wrote and illustrated forty-four children's books which were published during his lifetime. His first book for children, And To Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, was published to critical acclaim in 1937. Seuss' popularity did not truly take off, however, until 1957, when The Cat in the Hat was first published, Other notable works by Seuss include Horton Hears a Who! (1954), How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1957), Green Eggs and Ham (1960) and The Lorax (1971).
Some of Dr. Seuss's works were first published posthumously. Daisy-Head Mayzie (1995) and Hooray for Diffendoofer Day! (1998) are based on notes and sketches that Seuss made before his 1991 death. My Many Colored Days was written in 1973 but remained unpublished until 1996. The 2011 anthology The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories is made up of seven short stories by Seuss that were originally published in magazines in the 1950s.
