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!

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."

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.

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.

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.
