Dr. Seuss

I chose Rookie Biographies Dr. Seuss. This book took us through the journey of Dr. Seuss from child to his death. Dr Seuss' real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel. He was born on March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. When he was a young boy he had a big imagination and loved to tell stories. He went to Dartmouth College and wrote for the schools magazine. When he finished college he drew cartoons for magazines. In 1936 he wrote his first book while he was on a ship. It was called And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street. When he wrote The Cat In The Hat it changed the way people wrote books for children. Dr Seuss died on September 24, 1991 at 87 years old.This book is more towards primary. The words are very big on each page so beginning readers can see them and sound them out. The words arnt hard to understand. And also there are pictures on each page to help the reader see examples of Dr. Seuss' books.The pictures in this book are all photographs. They are actual pictures of his books and people reading his books. This gives the reader a more clear image of what he wrote. The color is very bold. The colors show off his personality in his drawings. His drawings have very curvy and flowy lines to show off his goofy side.I think this book should be read to children. Its great information about one of children's favorite authors. Its a great way to get children involved in learning about important people. The book isn't long so its also fun to read.
