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.

  7. Every child must have Dr Suess books, they are fantastic and
    children just love them. I think it’s something to do with not being
    serious books but silly stories that sometimes make no sense but in a
    way do?? Anyway they are fun to read and that helps a lot!

  8. I love this book. A wonderful author who knows ways of making
    kids imaginations come to life. Its a fun way to learn for them, the
    rhymes, and the funny pictures.

  9. You can’t go wrong with Seuss… Personally the books I grew up with
    were Green Eggs and Ham and the one with the fish (funnily of course
    being dutch, I know the translated version by heart!).
    Our boy also loved Seuss… I think we read just about every book over and over!
    Cat in the Hat is a classic.- Thing One and Thing Two are just great! The movie is not too bad either!
    If your child hasn’t experience aSeuss book they and YOU are missing out on a world of fun!
