Dr. Seuss, who would have celebrated his 108th birthday on Friday, is still a household name across the U.S. and perhaps is even an inspiration to home decoration.
Zillow compiled a list of homes for sale or rent that bring to mind the colorful shades and shapes in his children’s books. The homes range from $139,000 to $22.5 million with locations from Colorado to Florida. Zillow also included in the list a colorful, oddly shaped rental property in Long Island, N.Y., for $16,000 a month.

Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on March 2, 1904. He passed away on Sept. 24, 1991, at age 87 but his estate continues to earn millions in royalties from his books and films. The latest film based on his children’s book, “The Lorax,” will be released on Friday from Universal Pictures.
Forbes listed Geisel as one of the top 10 earning dead celebrities last year, earning $9 million.

I think that callling these houses (except the Moorish-inspired design) Dr. Seuss-like is really a stretch. In all the Dr. Seuss books I recall reading as a kid NO house had right angles. Dr. Seuss delighted in fanciful curves and unorthodox shapes rather than colors, very possibly because his book illustrations typically were printed in black and perhaps two other highlight/shading colors. Maybe Pee-wee Herman-like would be closer to the mark for these houses.
