Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
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. --Susan Harrison

- brill book
Dr. Seuss has done it again. He has written a lovely rhyme, which has been made into a movie which was really good, and he left me astounded. Remember: This book is based on the movie not the real rhyme by Dr. Seuss (I think)! Please check out all the other reviews I have written of other Dr. Seuss's books (the list is at the bottom) and please, please, please comment one!

Let's get back to the book; it starts at the Walden household when it was a total uproar. It finishes in the Walden household after, the Cat in the Hat, the hero, finishes cleaning the whole place up and driving away!

This book is one of my favourites and I would rate it 9/ 10; I would recommend it to anyone who watched the movie but forgot about ... Read More:

- What? You haven't bought it yet?
Don't waste time reading reviews in your wonderous pursuit of a convincing pitchline. You don't need a pitch to buy anything written by Dr. Seuss.

In his invincible style of ending stories with a question, this book does nothing but helping me to very diplomatically persuade my children to do and say the right thing. "So, what would you do if your mother asked you?" has the most astonishing effect on my three under-7 children. Their inner monsters are wiped away, their curious eyes are looking at me with a guilty smile shyly tucked somewhere around the nostrils and I always get a COLLECTIVE hug after reading it to them. Add this book and all the others written by Dr. Seuss to your library and never get bored when reading to them. ... Read More:

- A word just absurd
I could not not review this book
I could not let it be forsook
for on this day was Geisel born
that we should not be so forlorn

What would I do without the cat?
Where would I be without the hat?
I do not know, I can not say
I wouldn't want to see that day

For in this book, so short and sweet
is such, for all, a great big treat
The cat of mischief, cat of wise
Cat with gleaming knowing eyes

And of the hat!
What's up with that?
Where did those stripes come from?
Yes I know

Poor grammar, oh,
I'm really not that dum!

I would the world would know the cat
I hope the world will wear the hat
Can such ... Read More:

- Cat and Chaos
The Cat in the Hat has no other name--symbolic of his role as Chaos. He comes to visit two children, the predictable (as in "orderly") Boy and Girl at home. Inexplicably, the parents have left these two underaged children at home with no babysitter and no good sense to refuse entry to a patently dangerous beast who has regrettable taste in headgear. This is significant; despite the fact Mom And Dad represent Order in the equation, they introduce Chaos into the system by abandoning their kids. From that small oversight, the rest of the chaotic events unfold with Greek-tragedy-like inevitability, though with an unpredictable outcome. How like the universe this is; the stars in their courses, but the weather is utter madness.

The Cat roams ... Read More:
