Beginner Books
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beginner Books is the Random House imprint for young children, co-founded by Phyllis Cerf with Ted Geisel, more often known as Dr. Seuss and his wife Helen Palmer Geisel.
Beginner Books are known to use only the 379 words, considered the basic vocabulary for young readers, which Cerf compiled with only twenty new words allowed per book.
Their first book was Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat of 1957.[1] With only four titles in their catalog in 1958, they were earning a million dollars a year two years later, making Random House the largest publisher of children's books in America.
