Who was Dr. Seuss?

What do you know about the author Dr. Seuss? You may not know much but I bet you’ve enjoyed some of his books. I loved them as a girl and read a huge number of them to our girls when they were younger. Here are 3 fun facts for older kids to get started exploring:

1. He wasn’t a doctor and his real last name wasn’t Seuss. Can you find out what his real name was?
   
2. He wrote one of his books on a bet that he couldn’t write a book with fewer than 50 words. Can you figure out what book it is? Here’s a hint: It’s his best selling book of all time!
   
3. Dr. Seuss had a different career before he started writing books. Can you figure it out?
