Geisel made a point of not beginning to write his stories with a moral in mind, stating that “kids can see a moral coming a mile off.” He was not against writing about issues, however he said that “there’s an inherent moral in any story”, and he remarked that he was “subversive as hell.” Frith and Geisel chose the name in honor of Geisel’s second wife Audrey, whose maiden name was Stone. Geisel also published one book under the name Rosetta Stone, 1975’s Because a Little Bug Went Ka-Choo!!, a collaboration with Michael K. He added the “Doctor ” to his pen name because his father had always wanted him to practice medicine.įor books that Geisel wrote and others illustrated, he used the pen name “Theo LeSieg”, starting with I Wish That I Had Duck Feet published in 1965.
