Theodor Geisel Theodor Geisel ( March 2 , 1904 - September 24 , 1991 ) was a children ' s author - illustrator and commercial cartoonist , best known by his pen name , Dr . Seuss . Taking his professional name from his middle name ( his mother ' s maiden name , which rhymes with " voice " in its original pronunciation ) , Seuss wrote more than 60 books , including " And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street " , " Green Eggs and Ham " , " Horton Hears a Who ! " , and " The Cat in the Hat " . His writing was distinguished by his complex rhyme schemes ( often using anapestic tetrameter ) and the creation of unusual or elaborate names and words , such as Sneetches or Oobleck . Geisel ' s illustration style was highlighted by his trademark horseshoe eyes for characters and teetering , elliptical towers and loops in architecture . All of these elements were incorporated by The Jim Henson Company into the 1996 series " The Wubbulous World of Dr . Seuss " , which made use of many of the characters created by Geisel ( The Cat in the Hat , Horton the Elephant , The Grinch , Sam - I - Am , and others ) , as well as creating new characters and landscapes by melding the Seuss style with the Muppet aesthetic . That same year , Jim Henson Pictures optioned the rights to a live - action version of the Seuss book " Oh , the Places You ' ll Go ! " . The film was never produced . Muppet set designer William Beeton cited Geisel , along with Henry Moore , as part of the inspiration for the soft curves and arches in the caves of Fraggle Rock . Geisel ' s other work included countless political cartoons and scripts for WWII propaganda films , the occasional adult book such as " The Seven Lady Godivas " ( 1939 ) , and the screenplay for the movie " The 5 , 000 Fingers of Dr . T " , which featured Seussian architecture and costume elements . Book Connections . In addition to his own illustrations and writing , Geisel oversaw many sub - series under the " Dr . Seuss " label and collaborated with other artists under such pen names as Rosetta Stone and Theo LeSieg ( Geisel backwards ) . Many of these artists also worked on Muppet / " Sesame Street " books .
