He began his career as a cartoonist and advertiser before publishing his first children's book in 1937.
During World War II, he worked in the army creating documentaries.
His breakthrough came with The Cat in the Hat in 1957, which addressed concerns about children's literacy.
Green Eggs and Ham, published in 1960, resulted from a bet with his publisher to write a book using only 50 words.

He died in 1991, leaving a lasting legacy in children's literature.
