In the late 1950s, Ted Geisel took on the challenge of creating a
book using only 250 unique first-grade words, something that
aspiring readers would have both the ability and the desire to
read. The result was an unlikely children's classic, The Cat in the
Hat. But Geisel didn't stop there. Using The Cat in the Hat as a
template, he teamed with Helen Geisel and Phyllis Cerf to create
Beginner Books, a whole new category of readers that combined
research-based literacy practices with the logical insanity of Dr.
Seuss. The books were an enormous success, giving the world such
authors and illustrators as P. D. Eastman, Roy McKie, and Stan and
Jan Berenstain, and beloved bestsellers such as Are You My Mother?;
Go, Dog. Go!; Put Me in the Zoo; and Green Eggs and Ham. The story
of Beginner Books-and Ted Geisel's role as ""president,
policymaker, and editor"" of the line for thirty years-has been
told briefly in various biographies of Dr. Seuss, but I Can Read It
All by Myself: The Beginner Books Story presents it in full detail
for the first time. Drawn from archival research and dozens of
brand-new interviews, I Can Read It All by Myself explores the
origins, philosophies, and operations of Beginner Books from The
Cat in the Hat in 1957 to 2019's A Skunk in My Bunk, and reveals
the often-fascinating lives of the writers and illustrators who
created them.
