First edition

New York: Beginner Books, 1960. First edition of this spellbinding read-aloud masterpiece, in second-state dust jacket. Very good plus in very good plus jacket. Item #44576 Seuss's knockout success with limited-vocabulary stories for beginning readers, especially CAT IN THE HAT, led his publisher Bennett Cerf to offer a wager: 50 dollars that Seuss couldn't create a children's book using only 50 words.
