Task Two

  

Theodor Seuss Geisel was born in Massachusetts on March 2^nd 1904 to Henrietta Seuss and Theodor Robert Geisel. Theodor was an American writer and cartoonist most widely known for his children's books written under the name of Dr. Seuss. Theodor published over 60 children's books, which were often described as imaginative characters, and with impeccable rhyme. His most celebrated books include the bestselling Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Horton Hears a Who, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Some of these wifely known books have been created into films such as Cat in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. His honours included two Academy awards, two Emmy awards, a Peabody award and the Pulitzer Prize.

Dr. Seuss was on of my favourite writers. I loved his books growing up and still have my Seuss collection. His books had such character and were written with incredible rhyme. I have always been a fan of Seuss’s books and they had always left some sort of tale or message. The lines in some of his books were so inspirational for example, the quote “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” is one of my favourite quotes. Dr. Seuss had always tried to make a point about being who are and that if someone didn’t like you than they don’t matter. I liked this quality about Dr. Seuss.
