The Cat in the Hat: A 1957 children's book by Dr. Seuss about a mischievous cat who visits two children on a rainy day. This book became a landmark of his early-reader storytelling.
Anapestic tetrameter: A poetic meter with four groups of two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable per line. Its galloping rhythm underlies many of his rhyming narratives.

Beginner Books: A children's book series founded by Phyllis Cerf, with Dr. Seuss as a founding author and editor. The series grew from the commercial and educational impact of The Cat in the Hat.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas!: A 1957 Dr. Seuss book about a grouchy creature who tries to stop Christmas in Whoville. The Grinch became one of Geisel's most enduring characters.
