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.

Very nice book for 2yr old and aboveJan 07, 2010 I bought this book for my 2yr old son and in a single sitting he could listen to the whole book read aloud to him. He found the rhymes very interesting. He quickly caught on to the phrases - that bump made us jump (and will jump saying that), what a shame (and will laugh saying this), loved the thing1 and thing2 :). Overall i am glad i could get such a book for my kid.
An Old StandbyDec 28, 2009 I can't count the times that I have read this old standby to my children. They are grown now, but never seemed to get enough of it when they were little. It is simple, yet mesmerizing. Dr. Seuss sure got it right when he created this classic. It is a must read, and I will read it many more times to my grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

The Magical World of Dr. SeussNov 05, 2009 I learned to read with the dull and predictable Dick, Jane and Sally books. And Spot. I mustn't forget Spot. Then one day I got my hands on The Cat in the Hat and reading changed for me forever. It became fun, lively and whimsical. In short, magical. And that's how it's been for me ever since. I couldn't read enough Dr. Seuss as a kid, and as a parent, of course I shared all his books with my own children.
A brand that makes kids want to read.Oct 01, 2009 We've has this and other Dr. Seuss books since I was a kid, but watching my kids with these books is a very different experience. Even the 3 year old has come to recognize the brand and anywhere he sees Dr. Seuss he wants to read it. My six year old looks for the books for his reading assignments. Some of these books get rather long and the kids are not intimidated by it because they know they will enjoy it. Across the board it is a good way to get your kids interested in a series of books rather than one or two favorites.
Greatest child bookAug 20, 2009 This was my favorite book up untill about the age of 13. I must have read this book over a hundred times. When I wasn't studying for school, I was reading this book. I use to be able to say the entire book outloud from memory.
