Is Dr. Seuss the author's real name?

Seuss was Theodor Geisel's middle name. He initially used it out
of necessity in college: When he was busted for having gin in his
dorm room at Dartmouth during Prohibition, Geisel was forced to
resign as editor from the school's humor rag as punishment.
Instead, he called himself "Seuss" and stayed at the paper. Years
later, after some success, he added the "Dr." to sound more
scientific, he claims. But it became a legitimate tide in 1957
when his alma mater awarded Geisel an honorary doctorate.
How did Dr. Seuss come up with his book ideas?

Here's the rundown on a few Seuss classics:

* "Green Eggs and Ham" was written on a bet with the founder of
Random House, Bennett Cerf. Geisel wagered that he could write a
good book using only 50 different words, and Cerf was sure it was
impossible. Geisel won the bet but never collected on it. It was
the only one of his books, the author claimed, that made him
laugh.

* "Yertle the Turtle" was based on Adolf Hitler.

* "Marvin K. Mooney, Will You Please Go Now?" features a
skulking character who is constantly asked to go away. The
character was based on then-president Richard Nixon.

* "The Cat in the Hat" was an answer to a 1957 report about
children who were struggling to read in school. The study showed
that children responded to illustrations and retained more
from "fun" books than from traditional but boring readers
like "Dick and Jane". Geisel was hired by a publisher to come up
with a book that would fit this bill. He was given a list of 400
words and asked to choose 220—the number of words kids were
thought to be able to absorb at one time. Unfortunately, the word
restrictions made the book difficult for Geisel to write. He
found two words on the list that rhymed—"cat" and "hat" —then
spent nine months writing the story.

How many kids did Dr. Seuss have?
Theodor Seuss Geisel once said, "You have 'em, I'll amuse 'em."
He was married twice but never had any children of his own.
