Dr. Seuss's infectious rhymes, fanciful creatures, and roundabout plots not only changed the way children read but imagined the world. And to Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat and the Hat, these and other classics have sold hundreds of millions of copies and entertained children and adults for decades.

After graduating from Dartmouth, Theodor Geisel used his talents as an ad-man, political provocateur, and social satirist, gradually but irrevocably turning to children's books. Theodor Geisel tells the unlikely story of this remarkable transformation. In this compact and engrossing biography, Donald Pease reveals the evolution of Dr. Seuss's creative persona while offering an honest appraisal of his life. The book also features many of Dr. Seuss's lesser-known illustrations, including college drawings, insecticide ads, and wartime political cartoons--all of which offer a glimpse of his early artistic style and the visual origins of the more famous creatures that later populated his children's books.

As Pease traces the full arc of Dr. Seuss's prolific career, he combines close textual readings of many of Dr. Seuss's works with a unique look at their genesis to shed new light on the enduring legacy of America's favorite children's book author.

Got water in the face just a few weeks after purchase
Color: Gold Silver Band and White Face, Color: Gold Silver Band and White Face
UPDATE: After leaving this review OLEVS Amazon customer service contacted me. I was given a full refund for the watch. Much better customer service!!!! The watch is heavy enough and looks nice but a few weeks after having it water got in the face of it. Contacted OLEVS and they basically told me they couldn’t help me since I didn’t buy it from their official site. They don’t offer support for Amazon purchases. Of course it is past the Amazon return window.

Perfect everyday Watch
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Super happy with this watch. It looks really clean and goes with pretty much anything dress it up or wear it casual. The blue face is fire in person and catches the light really nicely. Feels solid on the wrist, not too heavy, and the quality is definitely there. I’ve been wearing it almost every day and it still looks brand new. For the price, you really can’t beat it. Great everyday watch that looks way more expensive than it is. Would 100% buy again

Stylish and inexpensive
Color: Grey
Great watch. Came in quickly from seller. Got it sized at a local shop. It’s a pretty stylish watch for the price point. I don’t have big wrists but I still think the face could be a little bigger. But it’s pretty sleek and I’m happy
