“The Cat in the Hat” is one of the best children’s books of all time. It is a favorite of not just children, but also teachers, new readers, parents, and librarians. It was written by Theodor Geisel under the pen name Dr. Seuss. Geisel had written the book in response to a debate about literacy in early childhood in the United States.
The book, with its simple words and illustrations, was written to encourage children to read all by themselves. The Cat later became the production logo for all of Dr. Suess’ short stories and made several appearances in Dr. Suess books besides “The Cat in the Hat.” The book also features some of the timeless characters of Dr. Seuss books, including Fish and Thing 1 and Thing 2.
