Dr. Seuss was born in Springfield Massachusetts in 1904 and has been a favourite author and illustrator of children's books for over four generations.
In 1937, he wrote his first children's book called,
And to Think I Saw it on Mulberry Street, about the sights and sounds that Marco hears on the street as he walks along.
Twenty years later, in 1957, the classic story about that very special cat was published, The Cat in the Hat.
Dr. Seuss died on September 24,1991 and is still a best-selling author of children's books around the world.
