Theodore Seuss Geisel was born on March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Theodore went to Dartmouth College. He eventually became the head editor of a college magazine. Theodore got in trouble in college and was kicked off of the magazine staff. He wanted to continue to work there without the head of the college knowing, so Theodore continued to write under the name "Seuss". Soon after, Theodore began a job as a writer and illustrator for a magazine. His first work was signed with his pen name, "Dr. Seuss". Theodore got married. Theodore and his wife traveled to many countries because it inspired his writing. On the way back from one of his trips, Theodore wrote a poem which became his first book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. This first book was turned down by 20-40 publishers. During World War II, Theodore worked on many cartoons about the war. After the war, Theodore and his wife moved to California. Theodore began writing children's books again. He wrote favorites such as Horton Hears a Who! and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. He also wrote many books for beginning readers, including The Cat in the Hat. Theodore received many awards for his books, including a Pulitzer Prize. On September 24, 1991, Theodore died of cancer when he was 87 years old. Theodore's books live on today and continue to be passed down to generations of children.
How did the publishers likely feel that rejected Dr. Seuss's first book?
