Rare illustrated ink drawing of Dr. Seuss's signature children's book character. Ink drawing on eggshell white thick paper stock of the Cat in the Hat. Boldly signed in red by Dr. Seuss [Theodor Geisel]. Double matted and framed. In fine condition. The drawing measures 8 inches by 10 inches with the entire piece measuring 18 inches by 22 inches. "A person's a person, no matter how small," Theodor Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, would say. "Children want the same things we want. To laugh, to be challenged, to be entertained and delighted." "The Cat in the Hat was so successful that Random House, publisher of all the Dr. Seuss books since 1937, created a special division, Beginner Books, with the Cat in the Hat as the logo and Dr. Seuss as president of the division" (Dr. Seuss from Then to Now, 45). "This extraordinary writer has done more to foster literacy in children than most because he manages to combine lunacy with sanity, fun with learning, and quality with exuberant readability" (Joseph Connolly). It was the basis for the 2003 film starring Mike Myers in the title role of the Cat in the Hat, and Dakota Fanning as Sally.
