The Center For Seussian Studies presents...

The Dr. Seuss Web Page

Disclaimer

Introduction

I didn't find any.

So, in a fit of despair, disappointment and desperation, I set about creating one. I gathered together a few parodies I found on the net, copied in all the entries from the current Books in Print did a couple of searches in the Internet Movie Database, and put it all in one place. This inspired people to do two things. 1) Send me email thanking me for having this page, and 2) Inspired them to create their own Dr. Seuss pages, having seen how empty mine were.

Move to 1997. There are a number of Dr. Seuss sites out there. Some good, some bad, some official, some not. Mine still seems to be the only one with parodies on it, but y'know, that's not saying much these days. So, in a fit of frustration, and after-work energy, I go about re-vamping the pages.

And then 1998 came along, wherein our hero realized how much work keeping these pages up to date really is. Slowly but surely, the site is changing...

Here's a sort-of table of contents.

1. List of Dr. Seuss books, videos, etc and the ability to buy them.
2. Dr. Seuss parodies.
3. A really incomplete biography of Theodor Seuss Geisel.
4. Dr. Seuss goes to the movies.
5. Other Dr. Seuss links. Although I don't know why you'd want to go anywhere else...
6. The original BIP page. Considering how long it took to type in, I'm not letting go of it.
7. What's new on these pages, and in the world of Seuss.
8. The words to "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch".
9. Read Across America. This event, designed to encourage kids to read, is a good and noble thing. Check it out, and see how you can help.

• Frequently asked questions, with answers. Real answers too, I hope.
• Reviews of Seuss-related books, and commentary. So you know what to get.
• Graphics. Pictures. All that stuff protected by copyright, y'know...
• Dr. Seuss merchandising. The list of what's out there.
• Adding scholarly works. This would be easy if you would send me what you've written.
• Rewriting the biography so it sounds like it was written by someone beyond 4th grade (and I apologize to the 4th graders out there).

I've received comments and responses from the US, England, Scotland Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Canada, Norway, Spain, Italy, Malaysia, the Phillipines, India, Belgium, Germany, Guam, Singapore, South Africa, Western Samoa and Sweden. Clearly Dr. Seuss is appreciated the world over. As if you didn't know that already. Keep those cards and letters coming.

I do not attempt to answer all email I receive; only email that invites response. And, at that, I don't always succeed. I can be really bad at answering email.

Note: AOL users - if you want me to respond to your email, make sure you configure your account to accept mail from my account. Thank you.

According to the analysis software, these pages have received over 650,000 hits since March 2000. So you're not alone out there.
