About this book

The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins is a children's book, written by Dr. Seuss and published in 1938. Unlike the majority of Dr. Seuss's books, it is written in prose rather than rhyming and metered verse. The characters of Bartholomew and King Derwin appear again in a later book, Bartholomew and the Oobleck. Set in feudal times, the story begins in the Kingdom of Didd, when King Derwin is riding through a street past Bartholomew Cubbins, a poor boy in the market.

From the publisher

Dr. Seuss's classic treatise on bullying--now with fully color-enhanced illustrations!

As topical today as when it was first published in 1938, The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins is the story of a young boy (the same one featured in the Caldecott Honor Award-winner Bartholomew and the Oobleck) and his unjust treatment at the hands of a king. Written in unrhymed prose, The 500 Hats is one of Dr. Seuss's earliest works, and while it may not be as well-known as his other stories, the book addresses subjects that we know the good doctor was passionate about throughout his life: the abuse of power (as in Yertle the Turtle and Horton Hears a Who); rivalry (as in The Sneetches); and of course, zany good humor (as in The Cat in the Hat and all the other books he wrote and illustrated)!

From the jacket flap

Illus. in color. A read-aloud telling what happened when Bartholomew couldn't take his hat off before the king.

First edition identification

The book was first published on September 1st, 1938, by Vanguard Press in New York. The first edition of this book features a red cloth-backed spine with illustrated black paper-covered boards and illustrated endpapers. Wonderful black and white illustrations by the author throughout.
