Seuss was charged with making a story out of the 348 words every six-year-old should know. What he produced was a 1,629-word tale that didn't just use most of the words but also produced a famous character, a hugely amusing story, and a classic to be read, shared and loved. Random House. Ages 3 to 6.
Book Description:
Poor Dick and Sally. It's cold and wet and they're stuck in the house with nothing to do . . . until a giant cat in a hat shows up, transforming the dull day into a madcap adventure and almost wrecking the place in the process! Written by Dr. Seuss in 1957 in response to the concern that "pallid primers [with] abnormally courteous, unnaturally clean boys and girls' were leading to growing illiteracy among children, The Cat in the Hat (the first Random House Beginner Book) changed the way our children learn how to read.
