Both authors of classic books for young and, especially, newly emergent readers write with a sly wit and a deep understanding of human nature. -- Autumn Winters
Both classic children's book authors use rhyme and wordplay to create whimsical read-aloud stories that delight young readers. While Bill Martin's books tend to be upbeat and sweet, Dr Seuss' tales venture into the silly and offbeat. -- Natalie Harvey
Both beloved authors specialize in inspired silliness that will tickle the funny bones of the youngest readers. Dr. Seuss's work is a touch more whimsical than that of Mo Willems, with fanciful character design rather than Willems' irrepressible pigeons, elephants, and piggies. -- Autumn Winters
While Jon Sciesczka writes for all ages and Dr Seuss' stories are primarily aimed at beginning readers, both authors use wordplay, nonsensical situations, and silly characters to draw children into reading. -- Natalie Harvey
While Dr Seuss is known for inventive characters and places and Margie Palatini turns up the humor in realistic stories and fairy tales, both authors write silly, wordplay-filled books that beg to be read aloud. -- Natalie Harvey
Read-aloud rhymes, wordplay, and cartoony illustrations draw Dr Seuss and Corey Rosen Schwartz together in sharing amusing stories with young readers. Dr Seuss specialized in offbeat and silly early readers, while Schwartz is best known for fractured fairy tales. -- Natalie Harvey
These authors' works have the appeal factors funny, and they have the genres "stories in rhyme" and "humorous stories"; the subject "animals"; and illustrations that are "fanciful illustrations" and "cartoony illustrations."

Publisher's Weekly Review

CAT IN THE HAT TURNS 50! In celebration of 50 years of Dr. Seuss's The Cat in the Hat, Random House is releasing a pair of books to commemorate the occasion (see Children's Bookshelf, January 11). The Annotated Cat: Under the Hats of Seuss and His Cats by Philip Nell begins with the catalyst for Seuss's project, the article "Why Can't Johnny Read" in a 1954 Life magazine article. He then offers a brief biography of Theodor Seuss Geisel, before launching into a page-by-page analysis of The Cat in the Hat. Nel's commentary may center on one book, but along the way he offers a broader context of children's book publishing and education in the 1950s. The paper-over-board The Cat in the Hat Party Edition by Dr. Seuss features a glistening metallic blue cover and an opportunity for readers to participate in a campaign for literacy with First Book, as well as Project 236 (so named for the 236 words in the text of Cat), which culminates with the national read-aloud day on March 2, sponsored by the NEA's Read Across America. (Random, $30 192p ages 10-up ISBN 978-0-375-83369-4; Party Ed. $8.99 72p ages 5-8 ISBN 978-0-394-80001-1; Jan.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
