About the Book

The book was more than nine months in the making. Writing it was a challenge. The author was restricted by his publisher to using a certain palette of words in order to match those words that kids would be learning in school.

The final book was completed with 223 words from the publisher's list, plus 13 additional words.

The name of the book came from Geisel's desire to create a rhyme, and the words "cat" and "hat" were the first two rhyming words he saw in the list. The rest, as they say, is history.

The book itself was actually a response to an article in Life magazine regarding the literacy rate of children, and the fact that reading primers were less than interesting and exciting. Geisel had an opportunity to make learning reading fun.

With over 10 million copies of the book sold, I'd say he succeeded. One of the most recognizable and unique characters, the "Cat" is one of the most famous cats ever.
