Cat In the Hat


The Cat in the Hat by Dr Seuss is a book that offers events of what could happen when a brother and sister meet a Cat in the Hat. Cat in the Hat appears one rain day at the children’s door while their mother is gone to work. A fish in the story attempts to be a voice of reason for the children. The children like most people have difficult listening to the voice telling them right from wrong. Children also meet Thing 1 and 2 and this adds more mayhem to their already crazy day. The children eventually catch Thing 1 and 2 and convince the Cat in the Hat to straighten their home before mother arrives.

The Cat in the Hat is written with numerous rhyming and repetitive word phrases throughout the book. Book will entertain children and adults of all ages due to the adventures of the children. Children in the story are battling with whether or not to play along with the crazy tricks of the Cat in the Hat. The book reminds me of raining days as a child and wanting something exciting to do instead of sitting around the house.
