ASL Dr. Seuss for Kids
Do you like green eggs and ham? In this video about one of the world's most beloved children's book authors, you will learn many facts about both the author and his cherished books. While he was not really a doctor, he healed many hearts through his fun world of make-believe characters and places.
Theodore Seuss Geisel wrote over 60 books, and he illustrated them too! Before he made writing his full-time job, he would write and draw advertisements for various companies. He also created political cartoons and made some animated films. In fact, he even helped the U.S. government by creating posters and films that they used during World War II!
Despite his talent, his first book was turned down 27 times! He never gave up, and finally, it was published in 1937. After many years of writing these wonderful books, Dr. Seuss died in September of 1991. A special event since he died has been held in his honor every year on March 2 (his birthday) called Read Across America Day. This is a day to focus on the importance of reading.
