Summary:

The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss is about a magical talking cat who causes mischief in the lives of a young girl named Sally and her brother. Sally and her brother are sad because they are stuck inside their house on a rainy day. To make their day brighter, the cat randomly shows up unannounced and even brings along his friends Thing 1 and Thing 2. Unfortunately, the cat is somewhat of a troublemaker and makes many messes in the house. The children start to freak out because they are scared of how their mother will react to the disarray the cat created. Luckily, the cat finds a way to clean up right before their mother returns. At the end of this story, the children debate whether or not to confess to their mother everything that happened during her absence.

This book is a great picture book for a kindergarten reading lesson. By reading this book aloud, kindergarteners learn how to decipher the central message of a story. They think about the different characters and how those characters’ decisions affect what happens next in the story. This book is also a great resource to use when introducing kindergarteners to rhyming words.

Any Dr. Suess book is a good book to have in the classroom. The rhyming and funny unheard of stories are fun for the kids to get involved in. They widen their imagination and their is a book for anyone to get into.

These books are up for grab for reselling but, as I was about to pack each book, I couldn't help but read before actually packing. And in just one sitting, I finished almost all of them. Well, I couldn't finish the other two since I already packed it. I just realized it when I saw them beautifully wrapped. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading them especially the Sleep Book. Literally, it will make you sleep!

Dr. Seuss' books will make you learn how to read poetry in a story. And you can't help but read it aloud! It can make you pratice reading and it can also help boost your confidence. Dr. Seuss' books are not just for children but also for adults who wanted to go back into reading children's books for them to reconnect again with words.

I don't think that I could imagine having grown up without this book. Must read for kids and a great nostalgia book.

The Cat in the Hat is a classic. Dr. Seuss is probably everyone child's favorite author without them knowing it. The book is witty, it rhymes, the illustrations are colorful, and it is not that long. Any Dr. Seuss book is a great book for anyone. Every child should read these books. They are simple to read and it is easy to follow along, since it rhymes. Rhyming helps children learn how to read better in my opinion. I personally love Dr. Seuss books and all of them are recommended, but i think this is the first book I've ever read from him.

This was a very enjoyable book as a child - the rhyming words and the sing song written voice added to the enjoyment of the story line. Excellent for encouraging new and emerging readers.

Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat was originally published on March 12, 1957. Its target audience is children, and it is considered a picture book. The award that was given to this book is the Early Reader BILBY Award in 2004 and in 2012. This story takes place on a rainy day when a brother and sister are home alone with their pet fish while their parents are out of town. A tall cat with a tall hat appears and creates havoc in the house, leaving it destroyed when his friend shows up to help clean up everything before the parents return from their trip. This book is illustrated, it has great colors and the drawing matches what the text says is going on. The author and the artist showed great work trying to match the words of the book with the drawing to where they stand out and not just fade into the pictures. The book is trying to teach a few lessons here, the first lesson is responsibility. When your parents are not home don’t answer the door or let anyone in. The second lesson is there is always something to do on a rainy day. Thing One and Thing Two in the book represent all the energy that we suppress so we don’t get into trouble.

We got this CD set from the library and listened to it in the car many times. Excellent readers, fun stories, and nice sound effects. For any age, though I had to explain some stories to Noah (age 3.5) so I'd say 3 and up.

Fantastic book for kids! So imaginative and creative. Easy read that children will find delightful!

Dr. Seuss is always brilliant! His stories and rhymes are fun and entertaining! Some of my all time favorites!! Such a great way to entertain children and get them interested in reading!

I own this set of discs- and used them in my first grade classroom during the month of March as a listening center. His stuff is always fantastic and the readers and great.

This is a fun story about a little boy and girl who are left at home while their mother decides to go out. It's wet and rainy outside and the kids are bored. Then they catch the attention of a cat who wants to play with them, but not only that he wants to bring Thing One and Thing Two with him. As they play, they create a disaster of a mess inside! Moral of the story, don't leave your kids at home!
