Back in 1957, Theodor Geisel responded to an article in Life magazine that lamented the use of boring reading primers in schools. Using the pseudonym of "Dr. Seuss" (Seuss was Geisel's middle name) and only two hundred twenty-three words, Geisel created a replacement for those dull primers: "The Cat in the Hat." The instant success of the book prompted Geisel and his wife to found Beginner Books, and Geisel wrote many popular books in this series, including "Hop on Pop, " "Fox in Socks, " and "Green Eggs and Ham." Other favorite titles in this series are "Go, Dog, Go!" and "Are You My Mother?" by P. D. Eastman, "A Fly Went By, " by Mike McClintock, and "Put Me in the Zoo, " by Robert Lopshire. These affordable hardcover books combine large print, easy vocabulary, and large, bright illustrations in stories kids will want to read again and again. Grades 1 - Grades 2.

@xand78869293 I don't think it is quite comparable. The 6 Dr. Seuss books they stopped publishing were obscure ones nobody liked or read anyway. It's not like they watered down "The Cat in the Hat" or "Green Eggs and Ham."

@lottym79 @Booktrust My first memory of reading is my first memory of all! I was 3, and my uncle was reading me THE CAT IN THE HAT by Dr Seuss. I remember loving it & wishing the cat would visit me! I knew then that I would always love books, because anything you could imagine was allowed in a book! https://t.co/zAFOuEmAIM
