Finding His Voice
It was only when Dr. Seuss was returning to the U.S. from a European vacation, by boat, that he wrote his fist children's book.
His boredom on the long trip inspired Dr. Seuss to write a poem to the rhythm of the ship's engine. The result was the book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, which was rejected by the first 27 publishers he sent it to.
The book was finally published and became a hit. However, Dr. Seuss didn't become a household name until he wrote The Cat in the Hat in 1957.
