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.
