Children's Books by Dr. Seuss Aug 23rd 2011, 10:02 Introduction Picture books and books for beginning readers by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel) continue to be enormously popular. The rhymes, quirky characters, and life lessons make them particularly appealing. As Dr. Seuss proved, it is possible to create beginning readers that are both entertaining and have a controlled vocabulary and to create wonderful picture books when the author/illustrator has skill, imagination and wit. All of the children's books by Dr. Seuss make terrific read-alouds. Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss are particular favorites of beginning readers. The Cat in the Hat Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat when challenged by his publisher to write a book that would both entertain beginning readers and have a controlled vocabulary. He succeeded way beyond expectations and his book has become a classic, celebrating its 50th birthday in 2007. The Cat in the Hat is a wonderful character, who is full of surprises. This book is one of the very first entertaining books for children just starting to read on their own. The Cat in the Hat has a controlled vocabulary of 236 words, making it an enduring favorite with beginning readers. Preschoolers also thoroughly enjoy the rhyming text, as well as the Cat in the Hat and his shenanigans. As usual, the illustrations are zany and fun. Compare prices. (Random House, 1957.
