None of Dr. Seuss' books won a Pulitzer Prize; however, the Pulitzer Prize Board awarded him a Special Citation in 1984 for his lifetime contribution to Children's Books.
Seuss, whose real name was Theodore Seuss Geisel, published a controversial book called The Lorax in 1971, a commentary (some say propagandist) on man's tendency to invade and conquer territory, to the detriment of the environment and indigenous species. People in the logging industry interpreted it as an attack on their livelihood, which was already under pressure due to the risk logging posed to the Great Northern Owl.
One California school district tried to ban the book, but was unsuccessful.

∙ 13y agoDr. Seuss (aka Theodor Geisel) didn't win a regular Pulitzer Prize, but a Special Citation from the Pulitzer Prize Board for lifetime achievement in 1984. Rather than singling out one book for recognition, the Citation was given "for his special contribution over nearly half a century to the education and enjoyment of America's children and their parents."
Some of Dr. Seuss' better known children's books include The Cat in the Hat (1957), Green Eggs and Ham (1960), Horton Hears a Who (1954) One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish (1960), and How the Grinch Stole Christmas(1957). Jim Carrey starred in the movie version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), and was the voice of Horton, the elephant, in Horton Hears a Who (2008).
