Description
Dr. Seuss's classic treatise on bullying—now with fully color-enhanced illustrations! As topical today as when it was first published in 1938, The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins is the story of a young boy (the same one featured in the Caldecott Honor Award-winner Bartholomew and the Oobleck) and his unjust treatment at the hands of a king. Written in unrhymed prose, The 500 Hats is one of Dr. Seuss's earliest works, and while it may not be as well-known as his other stories, the book 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 all the other books he wrote and illustrated)!

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 wordplay-filled, and they have the genres "stories in rhyme" and "humorous stories"; the subject "animals"; and illustrations that are "fanciful illustrations" and "cartoony illustrations."

Horn Book Review
When young Bartholomew takes his hat off before the king (as is the rule), another hat strangely takes its place. King Derwin is infuriated and sets out to teach "this impudent trickster" a lesson. This anniversary edition of the Seuss classic features "color-enhanced" illustrations. The richer colors add life to the lengthy tale. (c) Copyright 2013.
