How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known as Dr. Seuss – was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire and Oxford University, England, he became a magazine humorist, cartoonist and advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children’s books, and his first book – And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street – was published in 1937. His greatest claim to fame was the one and only The Cat in the Hat, published in 1957, the first of a hugely successful range of early learning books.
