Dr. Seuss’s A-B-C: The Amazing Alphabet Book - Couverture rigide

Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2,

1904. After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford University, he began a

career in advertising. His advertising cartoons, featuring Quick, Henry, the

Flit!, appeared in several leading American magazines.
Dr. Seusss first children's book, And To Think I Saw It On Mulberry Street hit

the market in 1937, and the world of children's literature was changed

forever!
In 1957, Seuss's The Cat in the Hat became the prototype for one of Random

House's best- selling series, Beginner Books. This popular series combined

engaging stories with outrageous illustrations and playful sounds to teach

basic reading skills.
Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his

way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In

the process, he helped kids learn to read.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and two Academy Awards, Seuss was the

author and illustrator of 44 childrens books, some of which have been made into

audiocassettes, animated television specials, and videos for children of all

ages. Even after his death in 1991, Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling

author of children's books in the world.
