The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library - Oh Say Can You Seed? (The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library)

By Bonnie Worth, Illustrated by Aristides Ruiz

“From the giant gum tree
to this very small weed,
every flowering plant
started out as a seed.”
And so Dr. Seuss’ famous Cat in the Hat introduces young readers to the fascinating world of seeds and flowering plants.

This title and others form part of a series of books that takes an off-beat look at nature and natural sciences through a fun combination of Seussian rhymes and zany illustrations. Aimed at early readers – from four to seven year olds – the books are designed to bridge the gap between concept books written for preschoolers and more formal non fiction titles that require fluent reading skills. By presenting the facts in a lively and rhythmic manner, they provide the critical foundation upon which complex facts and ideas can eventually be built.

Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known to his millions of fans as Dr. Seuss – was born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England, he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children’s books, which included the creation of the one and only ‘The Cat in the Hat’, published in 1957, which went on to become the first of a successful range of early learning books known as Beginner Books.
