Celebrate the 75th birthday of this classic treatise on bullying by Dr.
Seuss with our new foil-covered, color-enhanced Anniversary Edition! As
topical today as when it was first published in 1938, The 500 Hats of
Bartholomew Cubbins
is the story of a young peasant (the same as in
Bartholomew and the Oobleck—a Caldecott Honor Award-winner), and his
unjust treatment at the hands of King Derwin. While The 500 Hats is one
of Dr. Seuss's earliest and lesser known works, it is nevertheless
totally Seussian and addresses subjects that we know the good doctor was
passionate about throughout his life: the abuse of power (as in Yertle
the Turtle
and Horton Hears a Who); rivalry (as in The Sneetches); and of
course, zany good humor (as in The Cat in the Hat and the 43 other books
he wrote and illustrated)! Available for a limited time only, this is a
perfect way to introduce new readers to an old classic, or to reward
existing fans.
