First Dr Seuss Book Publication
Dr Seuss published his first major children's book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, in 1937. It was rejected by multiple publishers before being released by Vanguard Press, marking the start of his long career writing simple, rhythmic stories for young readers.
