I don't remember seeing his name on the reading list.  W: His full name's Theodore Seuss Geisel. You can find this name on the reading list. Doctor Seuss is his pen name.  M: I love reading those stories as a child. It'll be interesting to read them now from a different point of view. I guess they'll give me a good idea of how children think.  W: Those stories are also great for classroom use.  M: How's that?  W: Well, take a typical Doctor Seuss's book like The Cat in the Hat. It has a controlled vocabulary of only two hundred words.

In fact The Cat in the Hat was written mainly to show how a controlled-vocabulary book could also be interesting and fun.
