Publisher's Note Recounts the life and career of Theodore Geisel, a cartoonist and writer who became world-famous as an author of children's books under the name "Dr. Seuss."
Industry Reviews Gr 3-6 A lively, straightforward overview of Theodor Geisel's life and work. Although his successes are detailed, his trials are given equal attention, among them are the many rejections he received from publishers; the death of his first wife; and his battle with cancer. Weidt provides highlights of the author/illustrator's journey through a noted career as well as background information on many of his most significant titles. Maguire's full-page pencil sketches capture the subject's appearance and personality as he transforms from a shy young boy to a confident writer. Sources are attributed to a number of interviews and magazine articles; the book does not include photographs of Geisel or reproductions of his artwork. Cheryl Cufari, N.A.
