Join award-winning Dr. Seuss in this fun illustrated children’s book all about a boy who doesn’t want to get out of bed!
Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known to millions of his fans as Dr.
Seuss – was born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield,
Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New
Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England, he became a
magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an advertising man. He soon
turned his many talents to writing children’s books, and his first
book – And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street – was
published in 1937.
His greatest claim to fame was the one and only The Cat in the Hat,
published in 1957, the first of a hugely successful range of early
learning books known as Beginner Books. In all Dr. Seuss wrote more
than 40 children's books during a career that spanned over 50
years, picking up numerous awards, including two Emmy awards for
television and a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation along the way.
James Stevenson is an op-ed contributor to the New York Times. His
popular column, "Lost and Found New York," has appeared regularly

for more than three decades; his work includes 2,000 cartoons and
80 covers, as well as reporting and fiction. He is also the author
and illustrator of over 100 children's books. He lives in
