Tell Me True
by Kelly
It’s the first official installment of Tell Me True, my new feature where you ask a question that you’ve been dying to know about a children’s book, author or illustrator and I do my darnedest to find out the answer for you.
Today’s question, courtesy of a reader in Miami, Florida is:
What college did Dr. Seuss attend?
The answer?
Dr. Seuss (real name: Theodore Geisel) attended Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, where he was editor-in-chief of the Jack-O-Lantern, Dartmouth’s humor magazine. He also attended Oxford University in England as a grad student but did not, in fact, graduate.
To play along, send me your questions!

I’m a freelance writer, and last week I was doing some work for a client and used Dr. Seuss to create a comparison. Basically, I said that you can coin terms just like Dr. Seuss.
He writes back with revisions, and one of his comments was “Who is Dr. Seuss?”
…
My heart bleeds for him.
