Revel in the Dr. Seuss Classic, The Cat in the Hat

Starting at $5.99 – $24.99

Let RetroSparX spark your memory of Dr. Seuss with Children’s Literature Reimagined. Whether you read The Cat in the Hat for you own entertainment or snuggled up beside your child or grandchild, you were no doubt transported to its world of whimsical verse and quirky characters. But all that fanciful, tongue-twisting fluff that Dr. Seuss created on each page masked a more ambitious mission – he was making reading fun for kids. After all, who could resist the mayhem unleashed by a talking cat and his repertoire of tricks?  Read about how this historic book upended the prevailing approach for early childhood literacy.

 

As an added bonus, in Sussing Out Seuss, learn some lesser known facts about the man behind the pen-name, Theodor Geisel.
