A classic. Based on an idea by Phyllis Cerf and Dr Seuss, Cerf compiled a list of 379 words as the basic vocabulary for young readers, along with another twenty slightly harder "emergency" words. No more than 200 words were taken from that list to write "The Cat in the Hat". This was a new idea in 1958, but soon became very popular, and remains to this day. Anyway, that's a bit of history, the main thing your kids want to know is it's easy to read, flows beautifully, and is full of Dr Seuss charm.
