After visiting the previous four websites, write a balanced biography of Dr. Seuss.  It should be two to four paragraphs long and incorporate the differing opinions you have found today, as well as your own background knowledge.


If you are wondering why this page does not have pictures of Seuss characters, go to this website to see what may happen when using his copyrighted material.
