I am a bit tardy with this personal tribute but wanted to be sure to note the 50th anniversary of a book that affected my formative years as I became an avid reader via my public library in Iowa -- "The Cat in the Hat" -- by Theodor Seuss Geisel -- better known as the author, "Dr. Seusss". This book was jointly published by Houghton Mifflin and Random House on March 1, 1957.
For more information on this wonderful children's book please visit -- www.catinthehat.com -- from which I copied the following excerpt regarding "Dr. Seuss'" writing success which I feel readers of this blog would be interested in knowing --
"At the time of his death on September 24, 1991, Ted had written and illustrated 44 children's books, including such all-time favorites as Green Eggs and Ham, Oh, the Places You'll Go, Fox in Socks, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. His books had been translated into more than 15 languages. Over 200 million copies had found their way into homes and hearts around the world."
So nearly 16 years has passed since we lost Dr. Seuss but his books have clearly taken on immortal characteristics.
Oh the books you'll read,
Todd
