Dr. Seuss gets his face on U.S. postage stamp

Oh, the places he'll go — through the U.S. mail.

Theodor Geisel, the most famous literary native son of Springfield, Mass., who's best known as Dr. Seuss, is getting his face printed on a 37-cent postage stamp.

Geisel's widow will introduce the stamp Oct. 27 during a ceremony at the Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden in Springfield.

The stamp will feature a color photograph of the author of "The Cat in the Hat" and "Oh, The Places You'll Go," surrounded by illustrations of six characters from his books.

Geisel died after a long illness in 1991 at 87.
