How Ted Geisel Grew Up to Become Dr. Seussillustrated by Steve Johnson & Lou Fancher
Dragonfly Books, 2004
48 pages
paper $7.99 purchased
Endpapers: pale green with various Seuss drawings
1- This is a well-written, somewhat lengthy-for-a-picture-book biography, more like a short story.
2 - This is really interesting.
3 - This is very informative.
4 - The illustrations are expressive, with one bordered painting on each double-page spread.
5 - Included at the bottom of each page of text is an actual Dr. Seuss drawing.
6 - At the end of the book are four more full pages of additional biographical information and a bibliography of his books.
This is a topnotch book. Ted Geisel was a "goof off" who was told that he would never be an artist. Huh!
This will showcase a weeklong unit in my class, including some of his famous books. I bet the kids'll love it.
