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 that’s exactly what it did. It began to change the way children learn how to read. To make learning to read a joy, not a task.
