"Helen Palmer Geisel" (September 11, 1899 - October 23, 1967) was an American actress and author and the wife of children's book writer Dr. Seuss. Her most well known book is "Do You Know What I'm Going to Do Next Saturday?", published in 1963. This book, along with two others, combined photographs with Ms. Palmer's stories. She also wrote "A Fish Out Of Water," which was illustrated by P. D. Eastman.

They married in 1926 and had no children together.
