Docuementary about Theodor Geisel, known to the world as Dr Seuss.

In this part:
- Ted Geisel's reluctance to commercialise his characters;
- his struggle with failing eyesight, and jubilation when it improved;
- further health problems as he became older;
- his increasing interest in writing for older children (as opposed to the younger readers of the Beginner Books);
- his first experience of hostility from the public, following the publication of "The Butter Battle Book" and the subsequent 'Butter Battle Debate' which raged in the community;
- his receipt of the Pulitzer Prize for Literature;
- publication of 'You're Only Old Once' (a book about the frustrations of growing old) and its enormous success.

With archive photographs, and some footage from an interview with Ted Geisel in the 1980s, plus memories and comments from Geisel's friends, colleagues and family members - including his widow, Audrey.
