One of the best-known pioneers of using rhyming text was Theodor Geisel Seuss who was born in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1904. His birthday is on 2nd March. Known as Dr. Seuss, he wrote books for young children with an inimitable visual text, which is of immense help to the early reader and also great fun. He told the most ingenious stories of imaginative characters, well suited to the minds of children who are always prepared to accept and delight in fantasy creatures without questioning either their reality, or the improbability of the situation or setting.
