From the publisher
Ted Geisel loved to doodle from the time he was a kid. He had an offbeat, fun-loving personality. He often threw dinner parties where guests wore outrageous hats!

This biography, with black-and-white illustrations throughout, brings an amazingly gifted author/illustrator to life.
