Theodor Geisel

Theodor Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. DoctorSeuss, is best known for his children's books, of which he wrote more than 40. Many (his best-known) he also illustrated himself; his artwork has a rather unique and humorous style. Some of his best known are:

• GreenEggsAndHam
• TheCatInTheHat?
• FoxInSocks
• OneFishTwoFishRedFishBlueFish?
• HopOnPop?
• HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas?

He won the PulitzerPrize in 1984 and three Academy Awards, and died in 1991. Sadly missed. Notwithstanding considerable confusion over the spelling of his nom de plume, it is "Seuss" -- Not spelled Suess, but search ought to get you here to see the correction anyway.

There's also a wonderful parody of his style, easiest found with

And let's not overlook the Dr. Seuss Bible:

In addition to DoctorSeuss, Geisel also used the pen name "Theo. LeSieg?" (Giesel spelled backwards) when he was the author but not the illustrator of a book.
