Some Of The Greatest Historical Pictures Ever

Dr. Seuss at Age 10 with his Dog Rex, 1914

Long before he became Dr. Seuss, this little boy was known as Theodore Seuss Geisel (his mother’s maiden name). The budding author was raised in Springfield, Massachusetts where he helped his father at the family’s brewery until it closed because of the prohibition.

When he wasn’t working with his father, the young boy spent much of his time at the local zoo with his mother and sister where he sketched many of the animals. It’s those same wacky animals that made it into his later works. The only question now is if his mom cooked him green eggs and ham.
