The first book written, created and originated by Dr. Seuss. Made into a Madcap Model Oscar-nominated short in 1944 in the Paramount Pictures series.In May of 1954, Life published a report concerning illiteracy among school children. The report said, among other things, that children were having trouble to read because their books were boring. This inspired Geisel's publisher, and prompted him to send Geisel a list of 400 words he felt were important, asked him to cut the list to 250 words (the publishers idea of how many words at one time a first grader could absorb), and write a book. Nine months later, Geisel, using 220 of the words given to him published The Cat in the Hat, which went on to instant success. It was released in a regular-sized hardcover format on July 28, 2015 to coincide with the release of What Pet Should I Get?, the newest Seuss book which was released at the same time.
