To read this book, to pore over the myriad of images, is to accompany Charles D. Cohen on his journey of exploration into a most singular mind, a mind almost obsessive in its tenacity. We have Cohen to thank for offering up to us a wondrous window, never before afforded, into the larger world of Dr. Seuss.

For anyone who has grown up on books by Dr. Seuss, here is a fascinating book about the boy who grew up to write them. The Boy om Fairfield Street focuses on the childhood of Ted Geisel - his love of exotic zoo animals, the injustices he suffered, his passion for drawing and making people laugh, his refusal to take life seriously. What would this funny boy do when he grew up? No one could guess, least of all Ted. Then, at age twenty-two, he discovered that he could earn a living doing exactly what he pleased - doodling and writing funny things about the world as he saw it. Where did Dr. Seuss get his ideas? Kathleen Krull's lively text goes a long way toward answering that question. A brief section highlights milestones in his grown-up life as Dr. Seuss. Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher's beautiful illustrations evoke the spirit of young Ted Geisel and the world he lived in during the early decades of the twentieth century.
