The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins is a young children’s book written in 1938 by the famous children’s author, Dr. Seuss.
The story revolves around the life of young Bartholomew Cubbins, when one day he wakes up and finds a hat stuck to his head. When he tries to take the hat off, it is immediately replaced with another. As the story goes on, the hats get more and more grand, which incites jealousy from Grand Duke Wilfred, who plots to have him beheaded.
Seuss’ main purpose for this story was to portray the innocence of young children, and the wrongdoings they may face in life. Bartholomew is wholly innocent in that he is unfairly targeted by the Duke for something which was out of his control. However, in the end, his innocence and good nature lead to his success as he managed to not only get his hat off his head, but also, sell it to the King for a small fortune!
