This is a biography about the children's book writer and illustrator known as Dr. Seuss. It is written for upper elementary readers. What makes this book interesting is the story of Dr. Seuss himself... if his life's story wasn't so interesting pretty much no matter how it's told this book probably would not be worth reading.
One of the problems with this book is that there are not many illustrations and the pictures that there are are of things like men in suits who were somehow involved in Dr. Seuss' life sitting at their desks. There is not one picture of an illustration made by Dr. Seuss or of any of his books. This seems strange... it does not do justice to an artist or writer to write a biography of their life (especially for children) but not include a single picture or word produced by them. The text can by somewhat dull and there is not a good flow from event to event in Suess' life.
