Sadly, the reason you may be having trouble finding an address for Dr. Seuss is that because after a long, happy and productive life, he died. The author, a man named Theodore Geisel, had a home in La Jolla, near San Diego. It's urban lore (that means maybe all true, maybe all made up, but probably a little of both) that he told a story to friends about the importance of not giving up:
When he had his first children's book written, he brought the manuscript to a publisher. The book publisher told Theodore kids wouldn't like it. The book was "The Cat in the Hat."
He brought it to eight more book publishers, all of who rejected it. Someone finally decided to take a chance on Dr. Seuss after he had tried and failed to get nine publishers in a row to give him a chance.
