Dr. Seuss Beginner Books

Okay, this is it. Here's one last post of the Dr. Seuss page from the Beginner Books that I used to read when I was little.

The Dr. Seuss characters from the Beginner Books are published in the Random House for young children ages 4 to 8, co-founded by Phyllis Cerf and Ted Geisel more often known as Dr. Seuss, and his wife Helen Palmer Geisel. No more than 200 words were taken from that list to write The Cat in the Hat in 1957. Subsequent books in the series were modeled on the same requirement. Beginner Books had only four titles in their catalog in 1958. Two years later they were earning a dollars a year and Random House was the largest publisher of children's books in America.

So the list of the Beginner Books are Hop on Pop, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Dr. Seuss's ABC, The Foot Book, Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?, Fox in Socks, Oh Say Can You Say?and Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!
