Why Did I Choose this Gifted Person?
I chose this gifted person because I like to read rhyming and funny books.I wanted to study this person because Dr. Seuss’s books helped me read when I was a little boy. One thing we have in common is we both like books.
Early Life
He was born in 1904. Both of his parents were Bavarian so his real name, Theodore Seuss Geisel, was a Bavarian name. He went to Dartmouth College and wanted to become a professor. One of his classmates said he should become a cartoonist because all he really wanted to do was draw.

Dr. Seuss's challenges were trying to publish a book. Nobody wanted to publish his book, which was an ABC book. He then tried to publish And To Think I Saw It on Mulberry Street and he almost threw the book away because no one would publish it. He ran into a classmate from college who was willing to publish his book. He finally got it published!
