Overview

These biographies for teen readers describe the lives and achievements of influential contemporary Americans. Each title contains chapter notes, a chronology, a further reading list with Internet addresses, and an index. The books have been designed to attract readers with visually appealing covers and page layouts. You will never learn to draw, Theodor, declared Geisel's high school art teacher. But the teenager did not listen. Some years later, when the adult Geisel decided to write and illustrate a children's book, his work was rejected by twenty-nine publishers before finding success. How did a man with no schooling in art become one of the best-selling children's writers and illustrators of all time? Carin T. Ford takes readers on an insiders' tour of the wacky and wonderful world of Dr. Seuss. Everything has to do with luck, insisted Geisel, but readers of this revealing biography will learn the truth.
