1. “Susan Creations Theodore Geisel, however, had a second more radical side. He had a successful career as an advertising man and then as a political cartoonist. His personal convictions appearing not always subtly throughout his books. Geisel was a complicated man on an important mission. He introduced generations to the wonders of reading while teaching young people about empathy and how to treat others well. Agonizing over word choices and rhymes, touching up drawings sometimes for years, he upheld a rigorous standard of perfection for his work. Geisel took his responsibility as a writer for children seriously, talking down to no reader, no matter how small, and with classics like green eggs and ham and one fish two fish, redfish, bluefish, Geisel delighted readers. Learned. Suddenly, reading became fun.”
