His real name was Theodore (Ted) Geisel. He was born in Springfield MA, which is about two hours west of Boston; in several of his books, he refers to places and events he remembered from Springfield. The "Seuss" came from his middle name, and his mother's maiden name. After attending Dartmouth College and then briefly going to Oxford University in England, he became a cartoonist, and also went into advertising; his cartoons appeared in a number of magazines during the 1920s and 1930s. But he became fascinated by children's literature and wrote "And To Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street," his first book, in 1937. It was rejected 27 times before he finally found a publisher.
Among his best known books are "The Cat in the Hat" (1957); "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (1957); and "Green Eggs and Ham" (1960) -- this book was unusual because it only used fifty words and yet still told an entertaining story. During a prolific career, he wrote 46 Children's Books and won a number of awards. He died in 1991 at the age of 87, and to this day, he is still loved by children all over the world. I enclose a link to a nice biography about him, which has a lot more facts you may find interesting.
Dr. Seuss is important because his books have had a lasting impact on children's literature by promoting creativity, imagination, and a love of reading. His whimsical characters and playful rhymes have captivated generations of readers and continue to be cherished around the world. Additionally, Dr. Seuss addressed important social issues in his work, sparking conversations about diversity, equality, and the environment.
I think that it is how his political outlook shines through his books. Also, 1 out of every 4 children's first book was a Dr. Seuss book
