Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning.

Series Overview: In 1957, Theodore Geisel—known to the world as Dr. Seuss—wrote a book called The Cat in the Hat. It was fun to read aloud, easy to read alone, and impossible to put down. It was the first Beginner Book and it changed the way children lean how to read, making learning to read a joy, not a task—making reading for pleasure the best way to learn.
