The author wrote more than 60 books (not all were published) including "The Cat in the Hat" and "Green Eggs and Ham." His books have been translated into dozens of languages as well as in Braille and are sold in more than 95 countries.
Here’s a look at some of Dr. Seuss’ best-selling books of all-time.

Arguably the author’s most popular book ever written, “Green Eggs and Ham” sits atop the list of top-selling Dr. Seuss books of all-time.
The tale of Sam-I-Am trying to convince the unnamed character to try a plate of what should be repulsive green eggs and ham remains a timeless classic for all ages.
The 1960 book has received such universal acclaim that it was eventually adapted for television with 1973’s “Dr. Seuss on the Loose” and most recently, a Netflix adaptation of the same name, starring Michael Douglas, Adam DeVine and Keegan-Michael Key.
As of 2015, the book has sold 17.5 million copies, per the New York Daily News.
