About the Author
Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2, 1904. After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford University, he began a career in advertising. His advertising cartoons, featuring Quick, Henry, the Flit!, appeared in several leading American magazines.
Dr. Seuss's first children's book, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937, and the world of children's literature was changed forever!
In 1957, Seuss's The Cat in the Hat became the prototype for one of Random House's best- selling series, Beginner Books. This popular series combined engaging stories with outrageous illustrations and playful sounds to teach basic reading skills.
Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped kids learn to read.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and three Academy Awards, Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 children's books, some of which have been made into audiocassettes, animated television specials, and videos for children of all ages. Even after his death in 1991, Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling author of children's books in the world.

What I appreciate about this book is it encourages reading and conversation between parents (or adult) and child who I think would be great to read this one together. It also stretches the imagination: "reading with eyes shut? How does the Cat in the Hat read 'Mississippi' with his eyes shut? Can YOU read with your eyes shut?"
...
Read this one WITH a child (and with creative humans of any age!) and talk about it... stretch the concept.... And see what else will open up with our eyes shut.

This book by Dr. Seuss made my child laugh, and it caught her attention. She read it only as a child would, and she understood without question what it meant. An imagination is all you need, and she has plenty.
The words play around. The pictures grabbed at your attention. This is a great book, and I recommend it to every child and parent, as well.
Many thanks to Dr. Suess for enriching my child's imagination and sparking her love to read.

Did he really write this?
The big question I had on reading this book was whether or not Dr. Seuss could really have produced something this bad. Read more

This book was dedicated to my father
I may have a biased opinion, because this book was dedicated to my late father, David Worthen. My father was an ophthalmologist and operated on Dr. Seuss' eyes in the late 1970s. Read more
