Dr. Seuss had no children and, despite authoring children's books, he was neither fond of nor comfortable around those of others. He would brag about a daughter, Chrysanthemum-Pearl, but she was a work of fiction.
1 Dr. Seuss' wife, Helen Palmer, also wrote children's books under the Seuss label. 2  The last book Dr. Seuss' ever wrote was a book for  obsolete children  (old peeps) titled You're Only Old Once. 3  When Dr. Seuss was a kid, his mother would soothe him to sleep by chanting rhymes from her childhood.
