Dr. Seus’s book costs thousands that can hide in your bookcase

In 1957, when the theodore “Doctor of the Mill” Gayesel wrote his seminar children’s book “Cat in Home”, He was under contract with a random house that was engaged in the main part of his books. History – as connected in the biography of Judith and Nile Morgan 1995 “Dr. Mr. and Mr. Geisel” -What, he agreed to write a “cat in a hat” after talking to one of the highest ups to the publisher of Hautan Miflin, who wanted a children’s book for education for classes. Bennett Serf, the head of a random house, had to reach a special agreement with Hautan Mythlin so that the city could write a book. Bookstores will be provided with a random house to sell a “cat in a hat” and mythline watched the publication in the classroom.

Generations of children have since grown with a “cat in a hat”, but the memories may differ what the publisher they see in the spine. Some could see the movie “Cat in the cap” 2003 but The less said about this movie, the better.

Mifflin was the first to appear in the technically, it was published in the first months of 1957, when on March 1 the “accidental house” version was hit by a shelf. Do you have a copy in your home? Does he have a dust jacket? If so, go and look and check the top corner on the inside of the dust. If you see a very weak “200/200” mark, then you have an exceptionally rare first House House edition. You may want to seal this copy in sliding or take some additional protective measures, as it can cost a lot of money. It would definitely be if you have an autograph by Dr. Seus. Article 2024 in the daily mirror He said that the first edition of the Cat in the Hat can cost as much as $ 16,500, especially if signed.

On the AbeBooks siteExcellent retail trading of used books, you can buy a signed, first edition of random copies “Cat in Hat” for $ 12,500. The value of your book, of course, will depend on its condition. Perhaps refer to a skilled book evaluator to learn about the true value of your collection.

Although Mifflin appeared first, Random House seems to be more important. “Cat in Hat” became a big hit in bookstores (again, according to the Morgans Biography in 1995), but was not a big seller at school. While Random House smashed in cash for sale, mythlin tried to get it in the classes. The police department himself said in an interview (eg interview with Tim 1954, Rewrite on site 1st edition) that he hated the most popular children’s books of his time because they were too small and sanitation.

The PERS specifically hated the books “Dick and Jane”, conceived by Sharp’s grain in 1930, stating that the books were simply full of “unhappy illustrations that reflect the broken life of other children.” The “cat in the hat” had to become an antidote for “wildly and Jane”. Unfortunately, it did not initially cling because too many teachers admired the “wild and Jane”, grew up with them. The city department wanted to write a story about children who sometimes behaved badly. You know how children actually do.

Of course, the book eventually clung to and sold tens of millions of copies around the world. It is still in print, and, regardless of the age of the person who reads this article, probably they also grew by reading it. You can even say that “a cat in a hat” is one of the most popular works of American literature in the history of the country. A scary adaptation to the movie, amazing, hit a beat.

In 2021, there was something scandal in the world of Dr. Seus, as several books of the author would be drawn from the publication from the racist images. The city was the product of its time, and it was not higher, making racially insensitive stereotypes according to what many artists and publishers did. The stopped book list included “When I launched the zoo”, “And think what I saw it on the mulberry street”, “Makeligot basin”, “On” outside the zebra! “” Super eggs! “And” Cat -Chief “. These books depict black people or Asian people in a stereotypical light, and are definitely not suitable for modern children. At least, not without a long explanation for the evolution of racial relations in American art. The story was covered by BBC and other outlets.

Dr. IUDS enterprise came to this decision after consultation with many teachers and parents, eventually stated in the press -saying that “stopping sales of these books is only part of our commitment, and our wider plan to provide Dr. Seuss Enterprises presents and support all communities and families.”

However, there was a reverse reaction against the publication, incited by a certain subsection of the Americans who were occupied by what they called “cancel culture.” It was a whole deal. Many considered that racist images should remain in the appeal, because preserving the original images was still valuable. After they were pulled out, many came to appreciate the books. Fast trip on eBay shows that some are trying to sell copies of “when I launched the zoo” for hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.

Of course, some book collectors can collect stopped names Seuss only for their new rarity; I hate to think about the seller’s motivation.

As of this writing, Adaptation “Oh, the places you go!” They say in works.
