Dr. Seuss and Philosophy - Oh, the Thinks You Can Think!
Since Theodore Geisel published his first children's book in 1937 under the pseudonym Dr. Seuss, children and adults alike have been captivated by the charming and laconic tales of whimsical characters and imaginative worlds. But Dr. Seuss' stories are more than just catchy poems; they often wrestle with serious philosophical and moral dilemmas, whether it is Horton discovering the very essence of life or the Lorax teaching us about morality.
Theodor Seuss Geisel - known the world over as Dr. Seuss - wrote some of the most beloved children's books of the 20th century, including 'The Cat in the Hat', 'The Lorax', 'Green Eggs and Ham', and dozens more. His books have been adapted into Broadway plays, films, and television programs; the cartoon adaptation of 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' remains an enduring holiday favorite. Dr. Seuss's greatest legacy, however, is that he made learning to read so much fun for young children. In this newly revised biography, discover how Geisel had been rejected over and over again before he got his big break in publishing, and how he forever changed the world of children's books.
