Answer: Seuss

Dr. Seuss books that have been turned into movies include "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (1966 and 2000), "The Cat in the Hat" (2003) and "Horton Hears a Who!" (2008). Theodor Seuss Geisel (Seuss was his mother's maiden name) published 44 children's books before his death in 1991, at the age of 77. While the correct German pronunciation rhymes with "voice", Geisel eventually switched to the Seuss we commonly hear today (like Zeus, the Olympian god), in part because the incorrect pronunciation was becoming so common.
