From Our Editors
"A person's a person, no matter how small". "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not". These are just two gems culled from the profound and prophetic words of the inimitable Dr. Seuss. In "Seuss-isms", America's favorite doctor takes on everything from aging to activism, from belief in others to belief in oneself, to provide an irreverent, refreshing perspective that no self-respecting Seussian should be without.

About the Author
Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts on
March 2, 1904. After attending Dartmouth College and
Oxford University, he began a career in advertising. His
advertising cartoons, featuring Quick, Henry, the
Flit!, appeared in several leading American
magazines. Dr. Seuss''s first children''s book, And To
Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937, and
the world of children''s literature was changed
forever! In 1957, Seuss''s The Cat in the Hat became the
prototype for one of Random House''s best- selling series, Beginner
Books. This popular series combined engaging stories
with outrageous illustrations and playful sounds to teach basic
reading skills. Brilliant, playful, and always
respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the
consciousness of four generations of youngsters and
parents. In the process, he helped kids learn to
read.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and three Academy Awards,
Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 children''s books, some
of which have been made into audiocassettes, animated television
specials, and videos for children of all ages. Even
after his death in 1991, Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling
author of children''s books in the world.
