The cat in the hat :About The Author Dr. Theodor Seuss Geisel :
Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known to the world as the beloved
Dr. Seuss, was born in 1904 on
Howard Street in Springfield, Massachusetts. Ted's father,
Theodor Robert, and grandfather were brewmasters in the city. His 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…Ted left Springfield as a teenager to attend
Dartmouth College, where he became editorin- chief of the Jack-O-Lantern,
Dartmouth's humor magazine. Although
Dr. Seuss tenure as editor ended prematurely when Ted and his friends were caught throwing a drinking party, which was against the prohibition laws and school policy, he continued to contribute to the magazine, signing his work "
Seuss." This is the first record of he "
Seuss"
pseudonym, which was both Ted's middle name and his mother's maiden name. To please his father, who wanted him to be a college professor, Ted went on to
Oxford University in England after graduation. However, his academic studies bored him, and he decided to tour Europe instead.
Oxford did provide him the opportunity to meet a classmate,
Helen Palmer, who not only became his first wife, but also a
children's author and
book editor. While Ted was continuing to contribute to Life, Vanity Fair, Judge and other magazines, Viking Press offered him a contract to illustrate a collection of children's sayings called Boners. Although the
book was not a commercial success, the illustrations received great reviews, providing Ted with his first "
big break" into
children's literature. Getting the first
book that he both wrote and illustrated,
And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, published, however, required a great degree of persistence - it was rejected 27 times before being published by
Vanguard Press.
The Cat in the Hat, perhaps the defining
book of Ted's career, developed as part of a unique joint venture between Houghton Mifflin (Vanguard Press) and
Random House.
Houghton Mifflin asked Ted to write and illustrate a children's primer using only 225 "new-reader" vocabulary words. Because he was under contract to
Random House,
Random House obtained the trade publication rights, and Houghton Mifflin kept the school rights. With the release of
The Cat in the Hat, Ted became the definitive
children's book author and illustrator. After Ted's first wife died in 1967, Ted married an old friend, Audrey Stone
Geisel, who not only influenced his later books, but now guards his legacy as the president of
Dr. Seuss Enterprises. At the time of his death on September 24, 1991, Ted had written and illustrated 44 c
hildren's books, including such all-time favorites as
Green Eggs and Ham,
Oh, the Places You'll Go,
Fox in Socks, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
Dr. Seuss books had been translated into more than 15 languages. Over 200 million copies had found their way into homes and hearts around the world. Besides the books, his works have provided the source for eleven
children's television specials, a Broadway musical and a feature-length motion picture. Other major motion pictures are on the way. His honors included two
Academy awards, two
Emmy awards, a
Peabody award and the
Pulitzer Prize.

The Cat In The Hat Dr. Seuss Free Audio Book :Delightful packaging distinguishes the new
Dr. Seuss CD audiobook, right down to imprinted graphics on the discs. The all-star cast of readers--Kelsey Grammer, Dustin Hoffman, Walter Matthau, John Cleese, and others--promises an entertaining program. Nearly a dozen
Seuss stories are read with nearly as many artistic approaches. Billy Crystal is over the top; John Cleese has impeccable comic timing; Ted Danson seems unimpressed by the Lorax. But Grammer comes across best. He gets the rhymes and delivers the verse with style. His energy, like
Seuss's, never flags and never seems forced. The production has an appealing, inventive combination of music and words. Have some fun with this audio--the producers did!

The Hat : Imagine two kids, Sally (Dakota Fanning) and Conrad Walden (Spencer Breslin), home alone with their pet fish. It is raining outside. While their wayward babysitter, Mrs. Kwan (Amy Hill), dozes off in the couch, the kids have nothing to do besides sit still and stare out of the window. Until their unexpected guest - a six-foot-tall talking
cat, with a tall striped
hat and more than a few tricks - appears. The wily
Cat (Mike Myers) is determined to show Sally and Conrad that "it's good to have fun - but you have to know how!" and inveigles them into colorful, illogical, absurd misadventures. As a result, their house is all wrecked up and almost destroyed, the fish begins talking and moralizing... Mom’s party, as well as her career, is threatened with a hopeless failure. Can Sally and Conrad fix up things before their parents get back?
