140.2. - The Story of Dr. Seuss ("The Father of Children's Literature")

American English Podcast

If you don’t know who Dr. Seuss is, you should!


He was a cartoonist and author who brought us The Cat in the HatThe GrinchGreen Eggs and Ham, and more than 40 other incredible books for children—and adults—around the world. He’s often called “the father of contemporary children’s literature.”


About one in four children in the United States receives a Dr. Seuss book as their very first book, and there’s a good reason for that. His stories are playful and clever, full of quirky illustrations, rhymes, and lots of repetition, which makes them ideal for beginner readers.


In total, more than 650 million copies of his books have been sold worldwide. So I’d say he’s definitely worth learning about!
