Dr. Seuss Books and More

So, who doesn't own a collection of Dr Seuss books or at least read one of the classic children's stories? I would be completely surprised to find someone in the civilized world at any age who hasn't experienced the delight of reading a Dr Seuss classic.

Theodor Geisel has been publishing Dr Seuss books since 1937. His first book, "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street", was derived from a poem he wrote while returning from a trip to Europe. That poem was inspired by the rhythm of the ships engines. Nearly all of his books are characterized by a rhythmic meter.

And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street

First Book by Dr Seuss

This is the fist book by Pulitzer-prize winning Dr. Seuss, who needs no introduction. His ode to the imagination of a child is as fresh and exquisitely outlandish today as it was when first published in 1937.

Dr Seuss Beginner Collection

Collection of Dr. Seuss's Beginner BooksFollowing a 1954 report published in Life magazine about illiteracy among school children, an editor at Houghton Mifflin compiled a list of words that the believed were most important for first-grade children to learn. Then he challenged Theodore Geisel to write a book using only those words. Geisel accepted that challenge and proceeded to spend the next 9 months writing "The Cat in the Hat" using only 236 words.

Though these types of books were difficult for Geisel to write and took much more time, we wrote several more in that style. They became very popular because they were the easy to read by beginning readers.

The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins

When Bartholomew visits town one day with his parents, the King's procession screeches to a halt directly in front of him. King Derwin leans out of his coach, demanding to know why Bartholomew hasn't respectfully removed his hat. "But, Sire, my hat is off" and he shows the king the hat in his hands that he's just removed. As crazy is it may seem, there's another identical one resting atop his head. He takes that hat off only to reveal another... and another, and another, and another.

Horton Hears a Who!

Horton the Elephant represents kindness, trustworthiness, and perseverance--all wrapped up in a comical and even absurd package. Horton hears a cry for help from a speck of dust, and spends much of the book trying to protect the infinitesimal creatures who live on it.

    I'm a big fan of Dr. Seuss. My favorite growing up was Hop on Pop... but I also love his posthumous book The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories.

    Thanks for this great lens! I agree, who doesn't love Dr. Seuss. I remember getting my tongue tied in knots reading them to my kids, then we would all burst out laughing. Butter bottle battle? Even though I love the Grinch the most, you can't not agree with the environmental message that the Lorax tells.

    thanks for sharing - I agree, who doesn't love Dr. Seuss! As much as the Grinch is my favorite I think the Lorax has a great environmental message!
