Dr. Seuss The beloved author of more than 46 children's books

At the time of Theodor Seuss Geisel's death in 1991, his 46 children's books had sold more than 200 million copies, and his last, Oh, the Places You'll Go! (1990), was still on the bestseller lists. His books, which he both illustrated and wrote, have been translated into twenty languages as well as Braille.

Wockets, Whos, and Grinches

Better known by his pen name, Dr. Seuss, he populated his odd and fanciful children's books with a hybrid bestiary of Wockets, Whos, Grinches, bunches of Hunches, Bar-ba-loots, red fish, blue fish, and a fox in socks. He once remarked in an interview, "If I were invited to a dinner party with my characters, I wouldn't show up."

You are now on the page formerly known as Cyber-Seuss. Cyber-Seuss is no longer an active page as it was if you are interested you can read all about it Here.

Greetings and welcome the incontestable authority on the Grinch Song...that little tune we heard crooned out by Thurl Ravenscoft (best known for his vocal work as Tony the Tiger) in the animated classic Dr. Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

There are other pages out there but this page will give you as many resources to find the version of The Grinch Song that you feel is the perfect version...for you! Before we get right into things I felt I should put up the Lyrics just in case anyone needed them. So, on to the song!

A long time ago (around 1994 or so) I went looking for information about Dr. Seuss on the net. I was expecting to find a lot; after all, he seemed like a natural subject for people to create pages about.

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...
Welcome to The Dr. Seuss Web Page, Mark II.5
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.
