Book Reviews of The Cat in the Hat
Book Review: Chaos with a meow
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Seuss was one of my favorite childhood authors. His books were easy for me to read as a very young child. They are excellent primers for beginning readers. They are also beautifully illustrated and they will tease and twist your child's mind into a delightful pretzel filled with laughter.
The Cat in the Hat has got to be one of my favorites. It is a wonderful story about how a cat shows up at a child's home one afternoon and turns the house into chaos.
I would have to say that Dr. Seuss' writing has affected my own since I write books in a humorous albeit adult vein. I am grateful for the creativity that he sparked within me.

Summary of The Cat in the Hat
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.He may be an old standby, but he never lets us down. When in doubt, turn to the story of the cat that transformed a dull, rainy afternoon into a magical and just-messy-enough adventure. There's another, hidden adventure, too: this book really will help children learn to read. With his simple and often single-vowel vocabulary, the good Doctor knew what he was doing: hear it, learn it, read it--laughing all the way. The Cat in the Hat is a must for any child's library.
