Re: Seuss-P.D. Eastman

["Sharron L. McElmeel" <mcelmeel@MCELMEEL.COM>]

P.D. Eastman was a friend and collaborator of Theodor Geisel.  Geisel
wrote using three pen names: Dr. Seuss, Theo Lesieg, and a couple
books using Rosetta Stone.

Philip Dey Eastman was born in 1909 in Amherst, Massachusetts where
he studied at  Amherst College and at the National Academy of Design,
New York, worked for Warner Brothers and Disney Studios, Calif., and
created the Gerald McBoing Boing series for United Productions (UPA).
(This is where, I believe he became acquainted with Geisel as they
both were involved with Gerald McBoing Boing -- winning an Academy
Award if I remember correctly.)  Anyway Eastman moved to New York
City in the 1950s and later settled in Westport, Conn., wrote
children's books, notably Are You My Mother? (1960), and
collaborated with Theodor Geisel on The Cat in the Hat Dictionary
(1964).   Eastman died in 1986 or so.
