Geisel wrote more than 60 books. He got the ideas for his stories from the animal sounds from the nearby [[zoo]], because he could hear them when he opened the window. Though most of them were [[publish|published]] as Dr. Seuss, he also wrote 13 books as Theo. LeSieg and one as Rosetta Stone (a reference to the [[Rosetta Stone]]). Theodor Seuss Geisel is one of the most famous children's authors of all time. His books were known for [[catchy|catchy]] sentences. His books have sold over 222 [[million]] copies and they have been translated into more than 15 languages.<ref name="seussville">{{cite web |url=http://www.seussville.com/lb/bio.html |title=Seussville: Biography |accessdate=2008-08-11 |publisher=Dr. Seuss Enterprises, L.P.}}</ref> In the years after his death in 1991, many books have been published based on his [[sketch]]es and notes; these include ''Hooray for Diffendoofer Day!'' and ''Daisy-Head Mayzie''. Though they were all published under the name Dr. Seuss, only ''My Many Colored Days'', originally written in 1973, was entirely by Geisel. By the time of his death he had sold 200 million copies of his books. There is a museum devoted only for his books in Springfield, Mass.
