His books are for children. His life story is not.

Never confuse having talent with having a good character. They are two separate things.

She died from a broken heart 💔 condolences to those people who are too beautiful for a cruel world. ❤

That so-called "best" friend is equally as despicable as he is. She left her husband and shipped her daughters off to boarding school because the not-a-doctor Seuss didn't like or want kids around. Mom of the year right there. 😬

Narcissists suck you in and hold you down while devouring your energy.

Let me say Theodore Geisel
Was the most unpleasant person. I say this at being 67 years old and when I was in fourth grade approximately nine years old, I visited my friend Ann’s grandmother‘s house. We were playing outside and this man’s house was next-door I suppose has happy children we were running around laughing. It must’ve annoyed him. He started throwing things across from his property. at us, including sticks…we went in and told Ann‘s grandmother and she said us to stay away from that nasty man he’s nothing but a problem. I have always remembered that and as I grew up and had children, we never had any of the Dr. Seuss books in my house because I think this guy was nothing but a bum.

True story.

What is worse is abandoning your kids for man. Smh

[tonmarinaxxzz]

When someone’s happiness is dependent on another person, that is a problem. Happiness should be within. A relationship is icing on the cake and not the cake itself.

Never confuse talent with integrity. The two are frequently mutually exclusive.

You can be brilliantly creative and still be a complete and total tool. He was no exception, he was a prime example of this.

[rhomo]

Sad to hear that his second wife abandoned her children because she thought he wouldn’t want them around. Seems like these two very selfish, self-absorbed people deserved each other; although we can never truly know as outsiders. Just a cautionary tale for us all.

Evidently you were the mean one, Mr. Grinch.

[DrDepth]

When we were little, we lived in San Diego. Dr. Seuss lived in my friend’s neighborhood. He was known for being the mean old man who didn’t like kids. You didn’t dare to ride your bike on his sidewalk. This story explains a few things.

Dear Dr Seuss,
not a nice thing to do.
We do not expect, this behavior from you.
Not from The Cat, or from Pop or from Hop,
This kind of thing,
Just needs to stop!

You have brains in your head,
You have feet in your shoes
You can do so much better,
If you so choose.

You should not, could not, in the rain.
Not in the dark. Not on the train.
We do not like this here or there.
We do not like this behaviour, ANYWHERE!

[bikergrandma]

How horrible to put him before your children!

[cottoncandisandi]

I remember my mom asking my dad if he " would cheat on her with one of her friends " ? My dad replied, " you gotta get better looking friends " ! 😂😅😁 52 years of marriage and Pop never loved anyone, like he loved my Mom . 💞

[tugboat]

I’m fed up with these stories where a wife helps her husband be successful but, after he reaches success, abandons his wife for someone else. What happened to integrity/loyalty?! He wouldn’t be famous without her 🙄
(Also happened with Garth Brooks)

[danielletoni]

The second wife abandoned her own daughters for him. Poor kids

[strawberry]

My husband threw me out for my friend. They have both died. Betrayal never has a happy ending.

[davidtop]

I had no idea Dr Seuss was such a wicked man. It seems character and integrity don’t necessarily follow talent. Thank you for the documentary, well done sir!

[kimmyb]

I worked in a daycare many years ago and we were celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday all week, it was something the director did every year. I dreaded it because I never, even as a child liked his books. As the director and I are preparing to kick off the Dr. Seuss week with story time, she reaches for the chosen book as she says under her breath, "I hate Dr. Seuss..." I laughed so hard that I almost fell off of my teeny tiny chair....LOL. His style doesn't appeal to everyone.
