Who is Dr.Seuss? Heard of “The Cat In The Hat”?
It is an animated children program that is aired
all around the world which is different from the
others.
If you may have noticed, everytime the tall black
and white cat speaks, he uses several quotes, the
wordings will appear at the bottom of the screen
because young children might not be able to
understand what he says.
When the cat talks, he does not speak normally.
He uses poems or quotes or phonics when he
speaks.
Now, that is the uniqueness of this children’s
educational program.
Dr. Seuss is the creator of “The Cat In The Hat” .
His actual name is Theodor Seuss Geisel.
He was born on 02-03-1904 in Springfield, MA.
In 1925, he graduated from Dartmouth College and
then continued his studies at Oxford University
which he aimed to obtain a doctorate in literature.
While studying there, he met his wife, Helen Palmer,
whom he had married in 1927.
Dr Seuss began working for a leading humor
magazine called “Judge” which was well-known in
America back in the early 1900’s.
He created his own cartoon drawings and humorous
articles to “Judge” and also to “Life”,”Vanity Fair”
and “Liberty”.
Dr.Seuss became popular when he created an
insecticide called “Flit” which was well-received
by the readers.
That led him to a contract to draw comic
advertisement for “Flit” for 17 years.
People knows Dr.Seuss as “Quick,Henry, the Flit!”
because this phrase had been used frequently.
“The Cat In The Hat” was born when “Life”
published a report touching the fact about the
illiteracy of young school children having trouble in
reading.
Back then, the children were not interested with
their books because they were boring, not
entertaining at all.
This news garnered Dr.Seuss ‘s publisher interest.
He sent a list of 400 words to Dr.Seuss and required
him to filter the list to 250 words so that a first
grader could understand and remember easily.
Nine months later, Dr.Seuss published a book called
“The Cat In The Hat” by using 220 words repeatedly
that were given to him to use.
This book became instantly popular word wide from
then until now. Dr. Suess passed away on
24-09-1991
