As a matter of fact, Dr. Seuss' birthday, whose real name is Theodor Geisel, is celebrated every 12th day of March across the United States with birthday cakes and of course, reading the stories in his books.
Geisel was inclined to writing for magazines and war documentaries, but he also found out that he has that passion in writing children's stories as well. His first children's book which is entitled "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street" was published in the year 1937. From then on, he has produced several children's books, which includes The Cat in a Hat, Green Eggs in Ham, and The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins.

It is just one among the hundreds of traditional nursery rhymes included in the collection of Mother Goose.

However, neither of them is correct—but the fact is many bookstores are allotting their shelves for hundreds of reprints of Mother Goose book collection. And these vintage children's books are good for kids that are starting to learn about words (rhyming) and its sound as well.
Hans Christian Andersen
