An inspirational book for kids

I discovered this book as an adult and was inspired and moved by the messages of courage, bravely, adventure and the truth that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. The book is the perfect gift to any kid who you want to instil the belief that life is an adventure of our own making, and while there will undoubtedly be up and downs, we have it within each of us to succeed and the key is to get started and keep going…

About the Author

Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known to millions of his fans as Dr. Seuss – was born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England, he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children’s books, and his first book – And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street – was published in 1937. His greatest claim to fame was the one and only The Cat in the Hat, published in 1957, the first of a hugely successful range of early learning books known as Beginner Books. In all Dr. Seuss wrote more than 40 children's books during a career that spanned over 50 years, picking up numerous awards, including two Emmy awards for television and a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation along the way.
