1. Everyone pronounces Dr. Seuss wrong. Most of us say “Su ss” when it should be pronounced as if rhyming with the word voice...so it is really said as Dr. “Soice”




2. Never had children but was known to say “You have them I’ll entertain them.” 




3. As a young boy scout each boy of his troop was to receive a medal from President Teddy Roosevelt, in person or so he thought. Unfortunately, he was left on stage with nothing to be given him because of a misunderstanding. 




4. Became an author accidentally after being asked to illustrate books. 



5. His inspiration for The Grinch was himself.
