Here is the complete list of books published by Theodor Seuss, “Ted” Geisel, an American children’s author, filmmaker, screenwriter, animator, poet, illustrator, and political cartoonist. Commonly known as Dr. Seuss, he is famous for writing some of the most popular children’s books of all time.

Dr. Seuss has sold over 600 million copies of his books worldwide and has published over 60 books during his lifetime. Many of them resulted in lots of commercial adaptations, including four television series, a Broadway musical, five feature films, and 11 television specials.

Who Is Dr. Seuss?

Born in Springfield, Missouri, on March 2, 1904, Dr. Seuss, or Ted, as what his family called him, was one of the most celebrated American authors for his work in making children’s books.

While writing and illustrating his first book, And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street, Dr. Seuss worked as a cartoonist in the advertising industry. After being rejected 27 times, he got his big break and got published in 1937.

Twenty years later, his editor told him to make an alternative to boring and standard fiction books to school kids. That’s when he wrote Cat in The Hat and became an immediate success after publication.

By his passing at 87 in 1991, Dr. Seuss has established himself as one of the most prolific cartoonists and writers of all time. Some of his books became significant commercial franchises, such as Horton Hears a Who, The Cat in the Hat, and How The Grinch Stole Christmas.
