Dr. Theodor Seuss Geisel Natalie Korus

“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
DR. SEUSS LIFE
Book Review
Born: Springfield,
Massachusetts on
March 2, 1904
Family: Father Theodor
Robert, Mother Henrietta
Seuss Geisel, had a
brother and a sister.
Married twice and
could not have any
children. First wife Helen
Palmer died in 1967.
Remarried an old friend,
Audrey Stone Geisel.
Lived: Springfield, went
to Dartmouth College,
later went to Oxford
University toured Europe
later on returned to
United States.
Background on his
name: Seuss is a
Bavarian name, and
was his mother’s maiden
name: Henrietta Seuss’s
parents emigrated from
Bavaria (part of
modern-day Germany)
in the nineteenth
century. Seuss was also
his middle name.
Trademarks/genre:
Fantasy, fiction, rhyming
and onomatopoeias,
also most of his books
are Beginner Books
Interesting: He made a
book that had fifty or
fewer words in it. Which
was “Green Eggs and
Ham”, and also the
best-selling title. Second
is “The Cat in the Hat.”
Overall : these six books
that I have read from Dr.
Seuss, overall the books
rhymed, and only two
out of the six had
onomatopoeia in them.
Dr. Seuss makes the
children think when they
read the books. These
books help children
build up their
vocabulary. In his books
he uses bright colors
and humors his readers.
The Cat in the Hat:
Rhymes: The big
question of this book
was “What would YOU
do, if your mother asked
YOU?” Goes over trust,
responsibility, wrongness
The Foot book: Dr. Seuss
takes the feet on an
extended walk through
opposites.
“Be who you are and say
what you feel because
those who mind don’t
matter and those who
matter don’t mind.”
“The more that you read,
the more things you will
know. The more that you
learn, the more places
you’ll go.”
“I meant what I said and I
said what I meant.”
“A person’s a person, no
matter how small.”
“UNLESS someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get
better, IT’s not.
“You have brains in your
head. You have feet in
your shoes. You can steer
yourself any direction you
choose.”

Conclusion
HOP on POP: this book
is about teaching the
elements of reading,
also simple rhyming
words.
Activities: You could do
so many activities with
your students. You can
act out some of the
parts in the books. You
could have them write
about something using
their imagination.
Overall: Dr. Seuss’ books
are my favorite books
that I read as a kid. Dr.
Seuss did the writing and
illustrating in his books.

Mr. Brown can MOO!

sounds which kids can
learn through an
onomatopoeia lesson.
Oh, the THINKS you can
THINK!: this book has
children using their
imagination it also shows
children that dreams are
possible and attainable.
Fox in Socks: Tongue
twister is where this book
gets you in trouble. You
have to read it carefully.
“I like nonsense, it wakes
up the brain cells. Fantasy
is a necessary ingredient in
living, It’s a way of looking
at life through the wrong
end of a telescope. Which
is what I do, And that
enables you to laugh at
life’s realities.”
“Today is your Day! Your
mountain is waiting.
So…get on your way.”
