Today is Dr. Seuss Day. Do you know the story behind the Dr. Seuss pseudonym? The author most famous for The Cat in the Hat was really named Theodore Seuss Geisel. His father wanted Theodore to pursue his doctorate. When Theodore was in college, he became editor-in-chief of a humor magazine. However, he got into trouble and had to give up his editor-in-chief title. Still wanting to make cartoons for the magazine, he had to get creative with pseudonyms, so he signed using Seuss, his middle name--which came from his mother's last name. He then went on to write under the pen name Dr. Seuss, most likely because of his father's original wish for Theodore to become a doctor. Also, did you know that Dr. Seuss basically invented the word "nerd"? The first appearance of this word was in his book If I Ran the Zoo. Cool, huh?!
