Background

The son of brewmasters in the city of Springfield, Massachusettes, Seuss' mother, Henrietta Seuss Geisel, often soothed her children to sleep by "chanting" rhymes remembered from her youth. Ted credited his mother with both his ability and desire to create the rhymes for which he became so well known. After attending Dartmouth College Seuss went to study at Oxford College in England, but became tired of academics and instead spent most of his time touring Europe. After returning to the United States, Ted began to pursue a career as a cartoonist. The bulk of his early career was devoted to creating advertising campaigns for Standard Oil. After serving in the army during World War II Seuss got his first big break when Viking Press offered him a contract to illustrate a collection of children's sayings called Boners. Developed as part of a unique joint venture between Houghton Mifflin and Random House, The Cat in the Hat was Seuss' second book and made him the definitive children's book author and illustrator.
