Has any author dominated the childrens genre in the way that Dr. Seuss has? His stories and their wacky characters have entertained many generations of young readers, and not only is The Cat in the Hat one of the most beloved of his tales, but also one of the most adored pieces of childrens literature of all time. The kooky cat has inspired many adaptations, and is widely regarded as one of the most wonderful characters written for young readers. Can you think back on his absurd antics - balancing the fish on his umbrella and introducing the world to Thing One and Thing Two, to name a few - without at least cracking a smile?
