Surprised he wasn't on What's My Line. Bennett Cerf, his publisher challenged him to write a good children's book using only 50 simple words for young readers. Loving a challenge, he wrote the book GREEN EGGS AND HAM which has sold over 200 million copies since then.

The first book I ever remember reading for fun, was the Cat in the Hat when I was about 6 or 7. To a 6 year old, I remember it seemed so cool. I read it again recently for the first time in over 50 years (I'm 58 now) and I actually remembered some of the drawings in the book. This guy knew how to capture the imagination of a child.

Laura Thornton I had a little trouble recognizing him without a beard, but I knew it was #2 from the beginning, because I have seen enough pictures of him. Watching this game when I already _know_ the answer is very different from watching it when I don't know. I hardly ever guess the right person when I don't know! I also know enough about Ted Geisel/Dr. Seuss and his history to know that his answers were correct regarding his choice of pseudonym, his publisher, and such. I think Don Ameche thought he'd tripped him up with his question about advertising payments, but the problem was that the question was so poorly phrased that I think Mr. Geisel didn't understand what he was asking. I know *I* didn't!

Bennett Cerf himself also served on the panel of What's My Line?

When I was in the 1st grade, there was a copy of Fox In Socks in the classroom. We would fight over who got that book. And in the school library, I'd head straight to the "S"'s, because that was where the Dr. Seuss books were. I wound up reading several other books whose authors also had names beginning with "S," just because they were next to the Dr. And the stories always had a point, and a message. The man was one of the very, very greatest children's authors of all time. What a giant.
