Award-winning author Kathleen Krull zeros in on the formative first 22 years of the life of Ted Geisel. This is the first picture book biography of Dr. Seuss, written especially for his young fans who want to know what made him tick. The animals in the zoo that his father ran and his fondness for drawing them, the injustices he suffered as the child of German immigrants, and his inherent sense of humor all fed into the imagination of this boy. He was a square peg in a round hole until he found that he could make a living doing exactly what he pleased—doodling and writing funny things about the world as he saw it.


獲獎作家凱瑟琳·克魯專注於泰德·蓋塞爾人生的最初二十二年。這是有關蘇斯博士的第一本傳記繪本，專為想知道他創作動機的年輕粉絲所寫。蘇斯父親所經營的動物園裡的動物，他對畫動物的熱愛，他身為德國移民，在童年所遭受的不公待遇及他與生俱來的幽默感，都溶入了這個男孩的想像之中。他原本是一個與世相乖的孩子，直到有一天他發現可以完全照自己的喜好來謀生--用塗塗寫寫來記錄他所觀察到種種有趣的事情。
