2 for $20 Imagine That! How Dr. Seuss Wrote The Cat in the Hat

This lively picture book pulls back the curtain on how Dr. Seuss created The Cat in the Hat, using only 236 beginner-reader vocabulary words. Judy Sierra tells the origin story with humour and kid-friendly clarity, exploring the challenge Dr. Seuss faced, the spark of inspiration, and the incredible impact the book ultimately had on children’s literacy. Kevin Hawkes’ illustrations blend biography with Seussian flair, making it a perfect companion for young readers, classrooms, and nostalgic Seuss fans. Condition This copy shows moderate external wear, typical for a read-and-shelved hardcover: Dust jacket has edge wear, small creases, and a couple surface dings (visible in photos). Corners show mild bumping. Interior pages are clean, bright, and unmarked. Binding remains strong and fully intact. A solid, used copy of an out-of-print Seuss-related title — great for collectors or classrooms teaching author studies.
