The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins [Hardcover]

This classic treatise on bullying by Dr. Seuss features a foil cover and color-enhanced illustrations! As topical today as when it was first published in 1938,The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbinsis the story of a young peasant (the same as inBartholomew and the Oobleck—a Caldecott Honor Award-winner), and his unjust treatment at the hands of King Derwin. WhileThe 500 Hatsis 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 inYertle the TurtleandHorton Hears a Who); rivalry (as inThe Sneetches); and of course, zany good humor (as inThe Cat in the Hatand the 43 other books he wrote and illustrated)!"A lovely bit of tom-foolery which keeps up the suspense and surprise until the last page."--The New York Times.
