He was. It was his pen name until he got a good book published. He wanted to be considered a serious author but he didn't want his REAL name (Theodore Geisel) to be tarnished with Children's Books. Seuss was his middle name as well as his mother's maiden name and his father wanted him to be Doctor; thus, Dr. Seuss was born.
