The Dr. Seuss National Memorial is a sculpture garden located at The Quadrangle in Springfield, Massachusetts, honoring the American children's author Theodor Geisel, more commonly known by his pen name, Dr. Seuss. The monument was designed by Lark Grey Dimond-Cates, the author's stepdaughter.
There are five bronze statues featured in the garden:
- "Dr. Seuss and the Cat in the Hat": The title character of The Cat in the Hat standing alongside Dr. Seuss at his desk.
- "The Storyteller": A chair placed in front of a 10-foot tall book with the text of Oh, the Places You'll Go!, the title character of Gertrude McFuzz, and the Grinch and his dog, Max.
- "Horton Court": Horton the Elephant of Horton Hears A Who fame steps out of an open book accompanied by various ancillary characters from other Dr. Seuss stories, including Thing 1 and Thing 2 from The Cat in the Hat.
- "The Lorax": The title character standing on a tree stump with the legend Unless... This statue is located in front of the Springfield Science Museum.
- A 10-foot-tall tower of turtles, honoring Yertle the Turtle.
