Green Eggs and Ham

I bet you have a Dr. Seuss book at home. Perhaps Green Eggs and Ham or The Cat in the Hat. Did you know that Dr Seuss’s real name was Theodor Geisel? Seuss was actually his mother’s maiden name. He also wrote under the name of Theo LeSieg which is Geisel spelt backwards. Dr. Seuss published his first book “And to think I saw it on Mulberry Street” in 1937 but only after he had previously presented it to 43 different publishers who all rejected it. He finally managed to get a friend to publish it. Dr Seuss went on to publish 48 books which have been translated into 20 different languages, making him one of the best selling authors of all time.
