- Seuss won a $50.00 bet with his publisher by writing Green Eggs and Ham using only 50 words.
- Seuss based the Grinch character on himself to try to rediscover something about Christmas that obviously he’d lost.
- Though he had no children of his own, he invented an imaginary one named Chrysanthemum-Pearl that he used to brag about.
- If I Ran The Zoo holds the distinction of being the first published record of the word Nerd.
- Dr. Seuss wrote and illustrated 44 children’s books in his lifetime.
- He purchased an old observation tower in La Jolla, California where he’d write at least 8 hours a day.

Seymour was all excited about the cupcake…
Seymour can have all the cupcakes he wants. 🙂
Hats on cupcakes? Eggs that are green? These are the silliest things I’ve ever seen!
Silly indeed. And such fun. 🙂
OMG, those cupcakes are adorable. Had I seen this sooner I could have done something like this for work.
Lucky for lots of children that he never gave up on trying to publish that first book or on writing. I loved his books growing up.
I did too and so did my son and then his babies and now the greats will enjoy his books. 🙂
Happy Dr.Seuss day! Now I have a craving for those cupcakes!
Help yourself. There aren’t any chocolate because I know our babies can’t have chocolate. 🙂

Oh my, my, my…..not sure how he ever got anything written living in a tower in La Jolla! Such a beautiful place, the ocean would have been calling me to go sit on the beach and write.

It’s always filled and the children love it having breakfast with The Cat in the Hat and also other characters in the book. It was amazing for the little children. See ya Sandee.

Very cool cupcakes!!! Mom was born in Springfield, MA and lived there for the first 37 years of her life. She has been on Mulberry Street many times. They made a museum to honor Theodore Geisel after she had moved to Kansas.
Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber
He was a great man and will live on forever. As it should be. 🙂
I would bet that Dr. Seuss had a pussycat or two or three or maybe more. Maybe they were the ones that paw penned the stories! Tee hee hee. Those cupcakes are making Mom salivate. She has a major sweet tooth!
Actually he was a dog person, not a cat person. I do think he loved all animals though. Tell mom to have a cupcake. It’s a good thing of Dr. Seuss Day. 🙂
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I want a cupcake in the worst kinda way.
Happy B day to a wonderful man who was ahead of his time….
Hugs Cecilia
He was ahead of his time. He will live on forever too. Big hugs, Cecilia. 🙂

He was amazing. As for children, he used to say, “You have them, I’ll entertain them.”
And entertain them he did. Many generations and many generations in the future. 🙂

Take a cupcake and I know someone that could make a catnip Dr. Seuss hat for the kitties. 🙂
I love cupcakes but someone can take all the cream. Have a happy new week!
I’m not much for a lot of frosting either. I’ve not had a cupcake in a very long time. 🙂
