Theodor Seuss Geisel (March 2, 1904 - September 24, 1991) was an American writer and cartoonist best known for his classic children's books under the pen name Dr. Seuss, including The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. His books have become staples for many children and their parents. Among Dr. Seuss' trademarks were his rhyming text and his outlandish creatures. He wrote and illustrated 44 children's books. Many of his books have been adapted into short animated programs. His books The Cat in the Hat, The Grinch and Horton Hears a Who! have been adapted into feature films, and the musical Seussical is an adaption of all his books.
The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss is a live-action/puppet television series based on characters created by Dr. Seuss, produced by Jim Henson Television, which aired for two seasons (1996-1998) on Nickelodeon. Reruns of the first twenty episodes of the show were subsequently shown on Playhouse Disney, Nickelodeon, Noggin, Ready Set Learn, PBS Kids Sprout, and PBS.
