The Boy on Fairfield Street: How Ted Geisel Grew Up to Become Dr. Seuss

¿Once upon a time, there lived a boy who feasted on books and was wild about animals.¿ Before Dr. Seuss, there was Ted Geisel. Ted loved sledding and singing and a plump stuffed dog named Theophrastus, but most of all, he loved to draw and make people laugh. No one could guess what the future had in store, least of all Ted. But at age twenty-two he discovered that he could earn a living doing exactly what he pleased: doodling and writing funny things about the world as he saw it.
