Theodor Seuss Geisel (AKA Dr.Seuss) wrote and drew MANY classic children’s books. The Cat in the Hat was written in 1957 along with The Grinch – both are illustrated by him as well. He once claimed he never wrote stories with a moral but I find that many of his books do have a moral – not sure why he said he didn’t., I remember both books as a youngster as they went way beyond See Dick Run, etc. I have a ‘gift’ for reading – I was reading Mark Twain in the 3rd grade and was tested at a high school Senior level as a 5th grader. As an 7th grader I tested as a college graduate in reading. The funny thing is I can’t spell worth a crap – I finally resorted to just memorizing the words in the early grades as I just could not sound them out. I was once told that I – somehow – learned to read a whole paragraph at a time instead of individual words. As a high school senior I was tested at 1600 to 1800 words a minute (I was told the average person reads more 200 to 300 words a minute at that time)., But I loved Dr. Suess books – I believe all kids love them – my daughter learned to read from us reading the book 2 or 3 times and then expecting her to at least learn to recognize the 1 and 2 letter words (and very quickly she progressed to 3 & 4 letter words – it was quite simply amazing to she her progress!) – she shocked the Kindergarten teacher as she could already read at around the 3rd grade by then. The stories are silly enough that when coupled with the bright colors of the illustrations and a parent helping them along that most kids ‘teach’ themselves to read without even realizing it., A BTW – I caught my daughter ‘memorizing’ both the text in the stories AND her spelling words. I very quickly got her to stop ‘learning’ to spell that way as I didn’t want to suffer the way I have with my horrible spelling. However – the memorizing large amount of text has lead to her being in a movie, some commercials and several plays in college., I bought 2 copies of this book to give (along with The Grinch) to 2 of my wifes relatives who are expecting in a few months. This quite simply a book that all children will benefit from be exposed to., I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR ALL CHILDREN – a rare rating of a perfect 10 from me!!!

I thought I ordered a brand new library edition of this book, but it arrived poorly wrapped and slightly shopworn., as though it had been in some moist environment. It was too late to exchange for another copy, as the young boy I ordered it for didn’t care about the condition. He loved the book, so…..I kept it.
