Dr. Seuss: The Great Doodler (Step Into Reading) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
A Step 3 Biography Reader about Theodor Geisel and his transformation from a doodler into the beloved Dr. Seuss. Little Ted Geisel always had a sketchpad and pencil in hand. He was a Boy Scout with a penchant for creating zany creatures. He grew up with a love of books and words from his mother, and his inventor father spawned a wildly imaginative and perfectionist side. It’s no wonder that these qualities led to the beloved work of Dr. Seuss, the Great Doodler. Follow his career as an ad man, political cartoonist, creator of forty-five indelible children’s books, and Pulitzer Prize winner. Not bad for a lifelong doodler! Includes fun facts and several of Dr. Seuss’s original sketches and artwork! Step 3 Readers feature engaging characters in easy-to-follow plots about popular topics. For children who are ready to read on their own.

This is a great level three reader about the awesome Dr. Seuss. My son, as an 8 year old, has learned much about this author in school. This text went above what he knew plus was a challenging read for a low-level 2nd grade reader.
DR. SEUSS THE GREAT DOODLER is a succinct, fun read exploring the life of this great writer. The narrative is clear and simple. The text is accompanied by beautiful color artwork on each page, depicting events in the life of the famed writer.The book has some interesting tidbits about Dr. Seuss that I bet most people don't know. For instance, he served in the Army in WWII, as part of a film crew making training videos. The most surprising fact for me was how THE CAT IN THE HAT got started. It was on a bet! He was challenged to write a book using only 225 simple words. (That simple book took him a year to write!)All in all, I found DR. SEUSS THE GREAT DOODLER to be an endearing story, about an endearing writer. I wish I could have met this great man. Well at least, here the reader can learn a little bit more.
Fantastic book for young readers. My Kinders love this book and learning about Dr. Seuss at s level they can understand and retain.
I got this book for my grandson because he loves to read biographies. He is just finishing first grade and he enjoyed the book.
Even my 3 year old grandson enjoys learning about this genius of a man :)
This was a very informative book on Dr. Seuss. The kids loved it.
