During World War II, Geisel served in the U.S. Army’s documentary division, where he produced animated propaganda films and contributed to war bond drives. After the war, he returned to writing children’s books, creating classics such as “The Cat in the Hat,” “Green Eggs and Ham,” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.”
Dr. Seuss’s works have been translated into numerous languages and adapted into television specials, feature films, and even a Broadway musical. His legacy endures as generations of children continue to be enchanted by his imaginative stories and playful language. Geisel passed away on September 24, 1991, but his influence on children’s literature and popular culture remains profound.
