Sobre este artículo
New York: Random House, 1957. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 61 pp. First edition, first printing. Unglazed, matte paper covered boards, with pages bound in single-signature, Near Fine, with light touches of rubbing at the tips. In a Very Good+ first issue dust jacket, with publisher's price of 200/200 intact, with light edge wear, light rubbing at the spine ends, a short closed tear to the bottom of the rear panel, and a small patch of wear to the front cover right of the title which looks like it was rubbed with an erasure. A rather lovely example--a sharp and bright copy in a very nice first issue dust jacket. Seuss wrote the landmark children's book using only 220 different words, a challenge and limitation set at the behest of his publisher.
Sinopsis
The Cat in the Hat is a children's book written and illustrated by Theodor Geisel under the pen name Dr. Seuss and first published in 1957. The story centers on a tall anthropomorphic cat who wears a red and white-striped hat and a red bow tie. The Cat shows up at the house of Sally and her brother on a rainy day while they are home alone. Despite the repeated objections of the children's fish, the Cat shows the children a few of his tricks in an attempt to entertain them. In the process, he and his companions, Thing One and Thing Two, wreck the house. The children and the fish become more and more alarmed until the Cat produces a machine that he uses to clean everything up and disappears just before the children's mother comes home. The Cat and the Hat inaugerated the Beginner Books Series, promoting both the Dr. Seuss name and the cause of elementary literacy in the United States.
