...chaise longue, a relative of the daybed, is an extended chair intended to encourage recline and repose. The exhibit features nine chairs from the post-World War I period, seven of which are originals from the 20s and 30s. Two of the exhibition’s chairs are contemporary reproductions, made to the architects’ specifications, and perfect for exhibit-goers ready to take a break and a seat...

He wrote his first book for kids: "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street," the story of a baby von Munchausen who devises whoppers as he strolls home. His big early success was with "Horton Hatches the Egg," the 1940 parable of an elephant who sits on a bird's egg for 51 weeks until, when the chick hatches, it has four legs and a trunk - an elephant bird.
