Dr. Seuss was a prolific writer of children's books, many of which have become classics in the genre of children's literature. Some of his more popular titles include "Horton Hears a Who," "If I Ran the Zoo," and "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish." Dr. Seuss' first book was titled "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street." Before Seuss gained international fame with his children's books, he published a number of pre-World War II books. Some of these titles were "The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins," "The King's Stilts," and "The Seven Lady Godivas." Dr. Seuss also wrote the film "The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T," which was a commercial and critical disappointment.
After Dr. Seuss's death, people used some of his ideas and sketches to create new titles under his name. Two of these include "Hooray for Diffendoofer Day" and "Daisy-Head Mayzie." Both "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "The Cat in the Hat" became popular animated children movies. Experts regard Dr. Seuss as one of the most successful and influential writers in all of children's literature.Learn more about Children's Books
