Dr Seuss, real name Theodor Seuss Geisel.
Theodor Geisel AKA Dr. Seuss
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.
If you're asking who is the author of Cat in the Hat, it was a man by the name of Theodor Seuss Geisel, otherwise known as Dr. Seuss! He also illustrated most of his books I believe.
Theodor Seuss Geisel wrote and illustrated his first children's book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, in 1937.
Dr. Seuss's real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel. "Seuss" was his middle name and his pen name.
Sadly, the reason you may be having trouble finding an address for Dr. Seuss is that because after a long, happy and productive life, he died. The author, a man named Theodore Geisel, had a home in La Jolla, near San Diego. It's urban lore (that means maybe all true, maybe all made up, but probably a little of both) that he told a story to friends about the importance of not giving up: When he had his first children's book written, he brought the manuscript to a publisher. The book publisher told Theodore kids wouldn't like it. The book was "The Cat in the Hat." He brought it to eight more book publishers, all of who rejected it. Someone finally decided to take a chance on Dr. Seuss after he had tried and failed to get nine publishers in a row to give him a chance.

The illustrator of the book "The Lorax" is the author himself, Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel). He wrote the story and created the illustrations that accompany it.

"And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street" is the first book written by then man known as Dr. Seuss. He had been a writer and illustrator for a magazine and advertising campaigns before his first book. His birth name was Theodor Seuss Geisel.
Theodore Geisel wrote more than forty books under the pseudonym "Dr. Seuss." His mother's maiden name was "Seuss," which rhymes with "voice" in the native German. Geisel himself originally used the germanic pronunciation, but he later switched to the anglicized "soose," perhaps to rhyme with "Mother Goose." Geisel published 13 books under the name "Theo. LeSieg," (his given first name, plus his last name backwards), generally for books he wrote but others illustrated. He also published one book under the pen name "Rosetta Stone."
