Who Was Dr. Seuss? was written by Janet B. Pascal and illustrated by Nancy Harrison. The book contains lots of factual information about Dr. Seuss' life in a fun and attractive way. This book is perfect for children with its detailed illustrations and its easy dialogue. This book is considered a biography because it gives details about true events within Dr. Seuss' life.
Since this book is a chapter book, I would read at least two chapters a week to my class and then quiz them on the information I read. I would ask them questions like:
- What was Dr. Seuss real name?
- Where was Dr. Seuss born?
- What college did Dr. Seuss attend?

A motivational activity I would have my students do is get into groups of at least four and pick a specific time period in Dr. Seuss' life and act out an event in front of the class. Another activity is the students can each pick one of his books and write a small summary about it. As a class we will then go over all the books chosen and post a picture of them with the summaries on a huge timeline based on their publication date to be displayed in the classroom.
The author Janet Pascal is a children's author who works include other biographies like Who Was Abraham Lincoln?, Who Was Maurice Sendak?,and Who Was George Washington?
