Editorial Reviews: 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.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The book that influenced our culture! Comment: Times have changed. Little kids left home alone and shouldn't they have been told by their parents not to let anyone in? This is the book that must of led to a lot of wild house parties and may have spawned many party while your parents are away flicks (Risky Business, etc). A good fun read with a lilting cadence! Customer Rating: Summary: Two boys' review: Simply, a classic Comment: I couldn't imagine our children's bookshelf without The Cat in the Hat Green Eggs and Ham The Lorax How the Grinch Stole Christmas This silly story centers around self-responsibility. The children panic because they know their mother won't be happy if she comes home and find the house a mess. The fish fluctuates between being an annoyance and a voice of reason. The story stars a well-meaning cat who tries to release the children from an afternoon of boredom. He brings excitement, which quickly devolves into chaos...or so it seems. This is a fun bedtime story, nothing more, nothing less. My sons weren't looking for a debate about latch-key children and abandonment. We'll leave those reviews to the sociology graduates. If your children enjoy this book, I also recommend, "The Cat in the Hat Comes Back." Customer Rating: Summary: Classic, of course Comment: This is, of course, the classic beginning reader by Dr. Seuss. What can I say about it that has not already been said? Honestly, I can't think of a thing. Just that it is a classic, and has taught many children how to read, and is a fun read-aloud to younger kids as well. Customer Rating: Summary: My First Book Comment: The Cat in the Hat By Dr. Seuss The Cat In the Hat was my first book. I remember reading it to my mom in the kitchen while she cooked dinner. Any child who has to sit, sit, sit on a rainy day, would enjoy a visit from the cat in the hat. He made a game of balancing on a ball, adding items one by one, until the whole thing was overturned and the cat fell on his head. The cat brought in a box with Thing one and Thing two, while the fish in a pot warned about the mess, and what their mother would do. Your children's book collection would not be complete without a copy of The Cat In A Hat. Jill Ammon Vanderwood, author Through the Rug Through The Rug: Follow That Dog (Through the Rug) Customer Rating: Summary: Oh, that darn cat! Comment: In my opinion, this is, besides being the most well-known concept of Dr. Seuss, one of the best things he has written save "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" Tis the season of Seuss right now, and as I read this book to my class I was once again enchanted by the sheer awesomeness of this story. The writing has an awesome beat and flow and the pictures are hilarious! Who can not love the banter between Cat and Fish with their surprisingly detailed personalities? Great book for a rainy day.
