Dr. Seuss's infectious rhymes, fanciful creatures, and roundabout plots not only changed the way children read but imagined the world. And to Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat and the Hat, these and other classics have sold hundreds of millions of copies and entertained children and adults for decades.

After graduating from Dartmouth, Theodor Geisel used his talents as an ad-man, political provocateur, and social satirist, gradually but irrevocably turning to children's books. Theodor Geisel tells the unlikely story of this remarkable transformation. In this compact and engrossing biography, Donald Pease reveals the evolution of Dr. Seuss's creative persona while offering an honest appraisal of his life. The book also features many of Dr. Seuss's lesser-known illustrations, including college drawings, insecticide ads, and wartime political cartoons--all of which offer a glimpse of his early artistic style and the visual origins of the more famous creatures that later populated his children's books.

As Pease traces the full arc of Dr. Seuss's prolific career, he combines close textual readings of many of Dr. Seuss's works with a unique look at their genesis to shed new light on the enduring legacy of America's favorite children's book author.

Doesn’t spray!
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 30
So there is a barely visible lock/ unlock icon on the plastic strip under the spray nozzle. Turn the nozzle to unlock, and it should have sprayed. NOPE! I had to put the can on my bathroom counter and press as hard as I could to get the spray to come out and into my other hand. I then applied the lotion. It’s ridiculous how hard this is to use! So I can’t comment on the sunblock itself because it’s next to impossible to use it as a spray. Cannot recommend this product until manufacturer fixes the faulty nozzle.

Great sunscreen!
Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
We have used this sunscreen lotion on multiple beach vacations, and most recently on our cruise. The quality, coverage and protection are great. The lotion glides on smoothly and is not sticky. It has a light fresh scent that did not irritate the members of the family with sensitive skin. This is one of our favorite lotions to use, and we keep repurchasing it. The price point is great as well.
