Ted Geisel, a childless cartoonist, published his first book, And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street in 1937. From that day forward, he was known as Dr. Suess.

Wild illustrations, combined with rhymes full of nonsensical words, unlocked new doors in the brains of children everywhere, giving them the right to exaggerate and dream wild dreams.

Many of Suess' books tackle serious problems like racism (The Sneetches), nuclear war (The Butter Battle Book), and social injustice (Yretle the Turtle), It sounds pretty depressing, but colorful illustrations and silly verse give a totally new perspective on trying to solve these problems facing humankind.

Perhaps Dr. Suess' most controversial book, and greatest contribution to the world of Ecology is The Lorax. The Lorax is a story about pollution and unwise use of resources. The setting is an imaginary forest of Truffula Trees.

Throughout the book, as the forest disappears, a strange little character, called the Lorax, keeps popping up to defend the wilderness.
