Theodore Geisel needed a creative outlook. He enjoyed drawing and drew political Cartoons. He was inspired to write a children's book and it got good reviews. But then he was hired to write a book using a limited list of words. This was around the time of Sputnik and studies of American children were saying, "Johnnie can't read." Many thought Children's Books of that time were boring and moralistic and contributed to children not wanting to read. Dr. Seuss took those 225 words and made some playful stories in rhyme.
