Dr Seuss birth anniversary: Try these fun quizzes to celebrate the American author

To celebrate Dr Seuss’ birth anniversary, and the recent news that a sequel of the 1957 classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is in the works, fans can try these fun quizzes curated by our in-house quiz nut

In the fantastical universe of creativity, it’s often said that what Walt Disney was to entertainment, Theodor Seuss Geisel was to art and literature. The American author, poet and cartoonist who wrote under the pen name ‘Dr Seuss’ was born on this day in 1904. And to bring cheer to fans who continue to enjoy the magic of his written works, there’s news of a sequel to his most popular work, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The new title, How the Grinch Lost Christmas! is written by Alastair Heim, an author who has worked on other books in the Dr Seuss universe and picks up a year after the original story ended. Packed with valuable lessons about the spirit of the season, readers can expect it to hit bookshelves before Christmas.

If you’re in the mood to rekindle some of the old magic and sharpen your ‘Seuss Quotient’, pick your brain with these quizzes. Your time starts now!

If your creative juices are overflowing, we suggest you attempt this fun quiz.
