THEODOR SEUSS GEISEL--aka Dr. Seuss--is one of the most beloved
children's book authors of all time. From The Cat in the Hat to Oh,
the Places You'll Go!, his iconic characters, stories, and art
style have been a lasting influence on generations of children and
adults. The books he wrote and illustrated under the name Dr. Seuss
(and others that he wrote but did not illustrate, including some
under the pseudonyms Theo. LeSieg and Rosetta Stone) have been
translated into thirty languages. Hundreds of millions of copies
have found their way into homes and hearts around the world. Dr.
Seuss's long list of awards includes Caldecott Honors for
McElligot's Pool, If I Ran the Zoo, and Bartholomew and the
Oobleck, the Pulitzer Prize, and eight honorary doctorates. Works
based on his original stories have won three Oscars, three Emmys,
three Grammys, and a Peabody.
Contributor CHARLES D. COHEN is a graduate of Haverford College and
the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and has been a
practicing dentist for over twenty-five years. Dr. Cohen first
became enchanted with the works of Dr. Seuss as a child and he
began purchasing early edition of Seuss books in college. Today,
Dr. Cohen's trove of Seussiana is likely the most comprehensive
private collection in the world. It is his hope to create a museum
to preserve the full Seuss legacy by protecting the pieces for
posterity. He is the author of the The Seuss, the Whole Seuss, and
Nothing But the Seuss.
