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.

Odd little book. The last page doesn’t make sense with the rest or rhyme with the previous page.

An easy read based on the one fish two fish rhyme by Dr Seuss. Has cute beads at the top for teaching kids to count that they can move back and forth based on colour and number throughout the story. Sadly, while it remains true to the original, I do not believe this is the full original rhyme, just based on it. It also ends rather strangely on a note that doesn’t really feel like an ending.

A shortened version of the classic, it has fish beads at the top of the book to move around. Elliot is enjoying it, especially since he’s really interested in colors right now.

Synopsis: "One fish, two fish, three, four, five . . . This one has a car to drive!
This bouncy counting board book comes with five beads shaped like Seussian fish that toddlers can move across the top of the book as they count along. Based on Dr. Seuss’s celebrated classic, this sturdy board book will be a hit with all the little fish in your family!"
My Review: This is such a great book for toddlers. I love the simple and short introduction to Dr. Seuss. Munchkin absolutely loves this book, to the point that I have it memorized and can tell him the story just by the sound of him turning the pages. The plastic fish that he can count on the top of the book is a great added bonus, and would be great for a busy child who hasn't quite found the love for books yet.

March 21, 2014This board book features the fishy beginning to the original One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. It's perfect for just focusing on that part of the traditional Seuss book. The toy fish on the top of the book were not used during storytime and they seemed rather silly. It's more of an abacus than a toy.

Edit: Still a favorite at 16 months.
13 month old and I love this book. It's interactive and the right length for her attention span.
