The Cat in the Hat (Dr Seuss Green Back Books) Review
User Submitted The Cat in the Hat (Dr Seuss Green Back Books) ReviewsAugust 5, 2008 The book that influenced our culture! 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! July 26, 2008 Two boys' review: Simply, a classic 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. I couldn't imagine our children's bookshelf without these Dr. Suess books, too: The Cat in the Hat Green Eggs and Ham How the Grinch Stole Christmas The Lorax July 10, 2008 Classic, of course 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. June 29, 2008 My First Book 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. Jill Ammon Vanderwood, author Through the Rug Through The Rug: Follow That Dog (Through the Rug) May 10, 2008 Oh, that darn cat! 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. February 23, 2008 Cat in da hat rocks! This is the first book i read to my son that he didn't cry to and listened to the end at only 6 weeks! I'm sure it was just that he was in a good mood though! February 10, 2008 Timeless Classic When I can, I plan to purchase the entire series of Dr. Seuss books for my child being that his style of poetic prose is so appealing to children. It presents concepts in a way that don't stop to make them "think"; yet encourage a style of their own "brain-storming" that allows them to try to understand how silly chit-chat can become something interesting in a very sensible; yet diverse manner. LLO'C February 10, 2008 Great bilingual Cat in the Hat! I have this delightful book in English, Japanese, Spanish, and now in Chinese. Availability in all these languages is magnificent for children for many reasons. It allows children of these linguistic background to enjoy this great book. It is a wonderful attitudinal validation of these languages, especially if read in a school setting where English is the predominant language of instructin. This is valuable for chldren of every linguistic background. It contributes to the appreciation and awareness of these languages. This is so very important for inter-linguistic/cultural harmony and understanding. All of these benefits through a story that is so much fun!!! January 31, 2008 Big D's Review The Cat in the Hat is a funny and wacky and crazy book but is definitely for the younger crowd. The author is Dr. Seuss. In this book, he expresses his talent in more ways than you can imagine. The younger crowd is amazed and dazzled at what this book is about. The book is about 2 kids at home all alone on a rainy day. They can't find anything to do. Then, they hear a noise and a hilarious, crazy, and zany cat comes out of nowhere and cheers up the kids with things that the kids did not even think was possible! I would rate this book 5 stars no doubt! January 23, 2008 My daughter is only 21 months old, and this seems to be her favorite book This story is not only fun to read, my daughter loves it. I have a stack of children's books, and she most often chooses this one first. The art is cool, so that might have something to do with it. My daughter points at the various objects, and has fun naming them. This book has been a winner since day one. For more The Cat in the Hat (Dr Seuss Green Back Books) reviews click here.
