I hadn't heard of this Dr. Seuss book before, but I really liked it. Cute story, though it'll be a few years before my daughter enjoys it (too many sentences on a page- she likes to turn pages).

a longer storybook, great for testing your child's ability to sit and listen to longer works. My kindergartener was hooked.

This is a childhood favorite that I still adore. I love the black and white illustrations with splashes of red.
Similar to Bartholomew and the Oobleck (another favorite!), this one deals with the idea of a magically increasing object that grows out of control: no matter how many times Bartholomew removes his hat, another one appears in its place! I love all the side characters too: the wisemen, the murderous bratty prince, the executioner and particularly the yeoman of the bowmen.
Too long for storytimes but still one of my favorites!

En español: Los Quinientos Sombreros de Bartolomé Cubbins.
A page a day for over a month, with a few skipped days.

Humorous, not as full of difficult rhymes as some Dr. Seuss books. Very basic colors aside from the focus of the story.

I enjoyed it the first few times as a child, but got bored with it fairly quickly...much sooner than I did with his Cat in the Hat books.
