Just a couple I found out:
1) He is credited with creating the word "nerd". 2) Cat in the Hat has been quoted in the U.S. Senate 3) In November 2004, an edition of MAD Magazine (Mad #447) featured a cover story in which lines from Seuss' books were compared with supposedly similar lines from speeches made by George W. Bush. It was titled "The Strange Similarities Between the Bush Administration and the World of Dr. Seuss." The cover drawing was of a Cat in the Hat that resembled Bush. (now that's one I'm going to look for) 4) Sadly, the creator of some of the world's greatest tongue-twisters died of oral cancer in 1991.
What is your favourite book by this amazing man
