Theodor Seuss Geisel was born 2 March 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. He graduated Dartmouth College in 1925, and proceeded on to Oxford University with the intent of acquiring a doctorate in literature. At Oxford he met Helen Palmer, who he wed in 1927. He returned from Europe in 1927, and began working for a magazine called Judge, the leading humor magazine in America at the time, submitting both cartoons and humorous articles for them. Additionally, he was submitting cartoons to Life, Vanity Fair and Liberty. In some of his works, he'd made reference to an insecticide called Flit. These references gained notice, and led to a contract to draw comic ads for Flit. This association lasted 17 years, gained him national exposure, and coined the catchphrase "Quick, Henry, the Flit!"
In 1936 on the way to a vacation in Europe, listening to the rhythm of the ship's engines, he came up with And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, which was then promptly rejected by the first 43 publishers he showed it to. Eventually in 1937 a friend published the book for him, and it went on to at least moderate success.
During World War II, Geisel joined the army and was sent to Hollywood. Captain Geisel would write for Frank Capra's Signal Corps Unit (for which he won the Legion of Merit) and do documentaries (he won Oscar's for Hitler Lives and Design for Death). He also created a cartoon called Gerald McBoing-Boing which also won him an Oscar.
In May of 1954, Life published a report concerning illiteracy among school children. The report said, among other things, that children were having trouble to read because their books were boring. This inspired Geisel's publisher, and prompted him to send Geisel a list of 400 words he felt were important, asked him to cut the list to 250 words (the publishers idea of how many words at one time a first grader could absorb), and write a book. Nine months later, Geisel, using 220 of the words given to him published The Cat in the Hat , which went on to instant success.
In 1960 Bennett Cerf bet Geisel $50 that he couldn't write an entire book using only fifty words. The result was Green Eggs and Ham . Cerf never paid the $50 from the bet.
Helen Palmer Geisel died in 1967. Theodor Geisel married Audrey Stone Diamond in 1968. Theodor Seuss Geisel died 24 September 1991.

Of the few Dr. Seuss Nursery Collection books that our family owns, this one and The Sleep Softly Book are my favorites. This touch-and-feel book is a lot of fun for my son and it exposes him to the whimsical rhymes of Dr. Seuss in chunks that his attention span can handle.

Excerpts from One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish make this board book a perfect abbreviated bedtime read for the toddler set.

An adorable board type book based on and inspired by One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.Add hair that can be touched and rings on the Gack to count and it makes a book of rhyming fun even better.Who doesn't love Dr. Seuss books?Most of us grew up on them and learned our love of words through them.

Who doesn’t like a rhyming book that also has fuzzy stuff to touch and explore?! My baby loved it!

Synopsis: "From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!
This touch-and-feel book invites babies and toddlers to pet and play with the most imaginative pets of all. Based on Dr. Seuss’s celebrated classic, this book of pettable pets has fur, feathers, flaps, slide tabs, and cardboard rings to ring Dr. Seuss’s adorable antlered Gack! From the Zed with just one hair on its head and the Wink that likes to drink pink ink, to the bluehaired pet that is fun to brush–the whole family will love bringing these."
My Review: Another great Touch and Feel introduction to Dr. Seuss! Of course being Dr. Seuss there aren't any of the pets we would normally have (I honestly would have liked that a little) but they are all creative and still have hints as to the care regular pets need. Each page has a different touch and feel or activity to keep little one's attention. Munchkin really loves the rings on the Gack.

This book is a fast, simple, hands-on introduction to seven of the characters from One fish two fish red fish blue fish.
My kids love it, my only complaint is that the yink who drinks pink ink is very hard to operate...it is a tab that pulls down out of the book...sliding the tab back up into the book is/was no easy task. If the tab had been made of a sturdy cardboard instead of just a double layer of paper it would have made all the difference in the world. (All of the other pages are standard touch-and-feel)

Received this as a baby shower gift before Mercy was born. It combines the well-liked touch and feel ideas with the childish charm of Dr. Seuss rhyming and odd creatures. Each page represents a different need, activity, or observation about a different type of pet with different textures or toys to explore on the page. Hopefully none of them actually end up coming out of the book as babies do love to grab and yank. She's been playing with it all morning since we read it and refuses to give it up.

I am reviewing this book for my son. LOL. He totally loves it!!! It stays in his crib and when he wakes up, he picks it up and 'reads' it. I don't think he understands a thing that's going on, but he loves touching the various 'things' on each page (this one is a touch and feel book).
A friend gave this to us as part of a baby shower gift.

While an entertaining excerpt from One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Wet Pet (etc) does suffer from having a couple of pages for which the action doesn't work well, particularly the Yink page.
Still, my child loves reading it, so no big complaints.

This book wasn't what I thought it was going to be, though I'm not actually sure what I was thinking it would be, but it wasn't it. It was just snippets from his other books complied into this one. Kind of a cop out if you ask me.
