Poor Dick and Sally. It’s cold and wet and they’re stuck in the house with nothing to do . . . until a giant cat in a hat shows up, transforming the dull day into a madcap adventure and almost wrecking the place in the process!
Written by Dr.Seuss in 1957 in response to the concern that “pallid primers [with] abnormally courteous, unnaturally clean boys and girls’ were leading to growing illiteracy among children, The Cat in the Hat (the first Random House Beginner Book) changed the way our children learn how to read.
I don’t remember ever reading Dr. Suess (I’m sure I did, only it was SO long ago), so this just put me in such good spirits! I remember how giddy these made me feel, and the rhyming is just so whimsical, no books can compare to these. I’m collecting all of Dr. Suess’s work and this was just such a classic, great place to start. I love the art and the story combined!

I like that at the end of this book, when the mother comes home and the text reads: Should we tell her about it? Now, what SHOULD we do? Well… What would YOU do If your mother asked YOU? My daughter always looks up at me and says: I would tell you. But I don’t believe her. I think it’s quite possible that the Cat in the Hat has already been here, and she’s just telling me what I want to hear.

HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN THIS BOOK! Just had the pleasure of reading it to my friends 4 year old daughter over the weekend at a birthday BBQ – the smile on her face – MAGIC! Jon Nakapalau                                            rated it: 5.0 from 5.0Â
