The cat in the hat is a classic， any fun read for students。 Rhyming might be difficult for new readers， but would also help with phonics。

I both read the book and watched the movie of this book。 I think it would be so interesting to have a cat in the hat in my house as a childhood。 Many things are done where parents would never let the child do。

The Cat in the Hat is a book where a stranger （who's a cat） visits two children， Sally and Sam， who are home alone and having a very dull day。 Their mother is out， and when the Cat comes in， he reassures the kids that their mother won't mind him or his tricks。 The Cat in the Hat teaches us to be the maker of our own fun。 Make each day your own special blend of whatever it is that you want to do。 I think The Cat in the Hat is a good book to teach kids a lesson on making the most out of their days The Cat in the Hat is a book where a stranger （who's a cat） visits two children， Sally and Sam， who are home alone and having a very dull day。 Their mother is out， and when the Cat comes in， he reassures the kids that their mother won't mind him or his tricks。 The Cat in the Hat teaches us to be the maker of our own fun。 Make each day your own special blend of whatever it is that you want to do。 I think The Cat in the Hat is a good book to teach kids a lesson on making the most out of their days and to be interactive with others。 I would give this book a 3/5 rating only because I feel as though there are better books out there that can teach children this same lesson。 。。。more

I really enjoy the cat in the hat as a child。 Reading as an adult， however， it seems like there are deeper meanings within it。 One that I caught up on was the idea of revolts。

The Cat in the Hat descends upon two children one rainy day in this classic early reader from Dr。 Seuss， setting off a madcap， messy adventure in their home。 Despite the narrator and his sister Sally not being particularly keen to host this feline guest， the Cat barges in， determined to share his games with them。 The children's fish offers a continual string of objections， but the Cat carries on， even going so far as to set loose his twin terrors - Thing One and Thing Two - who destroy the house The Cat in the Hat descends upon two children one rainy day in this classic early reader from Dr。 Seuss， setting off a madcap， messy adventure in their home。 Despite the narrator and his sister Sally not being particularly keen to host this feline guest， the Cat barges in， determined to share his games with them。 The children's fish offers a continual string of objections， but the Cat carries on， even going so far as to set loose his twin terrors - Thing One and Thing Two - who destroy the house。 When the Cat finally leaves， and the children's mother is spotted approaching， it looks like there will be trouble， but that irrepressible feline has one last trick up his sleeve。。。Originally published in 1957， The Cat in the Hat was Dr。 Seuss's thirteenth children's book， and the first of his early readers。 It works just as well as a read-aloud picture-book for younger children， but is intended for use with beginning readers， and is part of Random House's I Can Read It All By Myself Beginner Books collection， which includes all of the Dr。 Seuss and Dr。 Seuss-labeled early readers， amongst other titles。 This is a book I recall reading many times as a girl， and its text and illustrations are immediately familiar， whenever I pick it up。 This particular reread was prompted by my recently begun retrospective of Dr。 Seuss's work， in which I will be reading and reviewing forty-four of his classic picture-books， in chronological publication order。 This is a project I undertook as an act of personal protest against the suppression of six of the author/artist's titles - And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street， McElligot's Pool， If I Ran the Zoo， Scrambled Eggs Super！， On Beyond Zebra！ and The Cat's Quizzer - by Dr。 Seuss Enterprises， due to the outdated and potentially offensive elements that they contain。 See my review of And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street， to be found HERE， for a fuller exploration of my thoughts on that matter。Although The Cat in the Hat is not currently one of the books being suppressed through the copyright holder's recent decision to cease publication， readers should note that it may only be a matter of time until it has joined that unfortunate list。 Sadly， the censorious impulse - including， and perhaps especially， the self-censorious impulse， of which this recent decision is an example - only gains strength as it is fed， and this particular book has already run afoul of those same critics whose work seems to have informed Dr。 Seuss Enterprises' recent action against the artistic and literary legacy that they are meant to be representing。 Apparently the argument has been put forward， in such academic titles as Philip Nel's Was the Cat in the Hat Black？: The Hidden Racism of Children's Literature， and the Need for Diverse Books， that the titular Cat in this story is a descendant of the minstrel shows and blackface of earlier generations， and that his actions are a coded reflection of white fears about the disruptive nature of black power。 I cannot comment upon Nel's argument， having not yet read the book - something I hope to do in the future - but some of the reviews of it that I have seen， reviews that mention all of the "decoding" done by the critic， in order to arrive at his conclusion， do make me wonder whether the text actually supports that conclusion， or whether the entire argument rests upon the imposition of the critic's own preexisting assumptions upon the text。 I hope， at some point， to have an answer to that question， as well as a better understanding of the role of critics like Nel in this recent decision from Dr。 Seuss Enterprises。 Whatever the final argument put forward in his book， it is not my intention to assert that he can be held directly accountable for this act of censoriousness， simply by virtue of his having made a critique of Dr。 Seuss' work。 There is a difference， after all， between critique - even harsh critique - and calling for censorship。 Of course， if Nel's book does indeed make an argument for suppressing books such as The Cat in the Hat， or if Nel was one of the panel of "experts" Dr。 Seuss Enterprises is said to have consulted， then that is a different matter， and some of the blame for this recent episode of cultural vandalism can indeed be laid at his feet。However that may be， in light of the criticisms leveled against this book， I gave careful attention to the depiction of the Cat during my current reread， curious to see if I would spy some of the problematic aspects， whatever they might be。 I cannot deny that there is an element of unease in this story， and that the Cat's role is indeed disruptive。 This is something that I recall being conscious of， even as a child reader。 Of course， my sense then was more that the Cat was being "naughty，" and that the story represented the mischief children get up to， absent parental authority。 After all， the narrator and his sister are home alone， very bored， with nowhere to go。 Rereading as an adult， having only recently read or reread all of Dr。 Seuss' prior children's books， I came to a similar but somewhat expanded conclusion。 Namely， that this is a story which offers an interesting and slightly different take on the power of imaginative play， depicted in previous books as wondrous and somehow transformative， even if only temporarily。 Here however， we see the potentially destructive， perhaps even dangerous potential of imagination， and the chaos attendant upon following one's impulses。 It clearly isn't an accident that the Cat in the Hat arrives when the children's mother is out。 He appears to represent a force that is oppositional to familial authority， whose spokesperson in the the story would be the lecturing fish， always reminding the children of what their mother might say or think。 It's interesting to note that the chaos and destruction ushered in by the Cat is temporary， and that all is set to rights again， at the close of the book。 This suggests nothing so much as the kind of experiments in independence that young people conduct， inching out a bit from the family circle， and then retreating again to its safety。 I couldn't say whether this was intentional upon Dr。 Seuss's part， but the fact that the book is deliberately aimed at a slightly older child than some of the earlier picture-books， a slightly older child just getting going with their own independent reading， it's tempting to think that the creator is offering them a story about wholly independent play。Whatever interpretation the reader lands upon， when it comes to the meaning of the story and its creator's intentions， the experience of generations of children confirm that this is an immensely entertaining book。 I can only hope that it will not be disappeared by our current climate of censoriousness， and that coming generations will also be able to enjoy its odd， disquieting charm。 。。。more

So I finally read the book that inspired the movie that was the root of so many nightmares。When I was a kid I used to embellish the truth a lot so I can see why my parents never read this to me。 It's a good book but I don't think it's the best of the Dr。 Seuss books。 So I finally read the book that inspired the movie that was the root of so many nightmares。When I was a kid I used to embellish the truth a lot so I can see why my parents never read this to me。 It's a good book but I don't think it's the best of the Dr。 Seuss books。 。。。more

This is a fun and classic book to read， I love the illustrations and storyline。 I think this will be a good book for parents to read to their children as it will provide vivid pictures and the words/sentences aren't too complicated to understand。 This is a fun and classic book to read， I love the illustrations and storyline。 I think this will be a good book for parents to read to their children as it will provide vivid pictures and the words/sentences aren't too complicated to understand。 。。。more

While this is not my favorite Dr。 Seuss book， it is a highly enjoyable story which is fun for all ages。

This is another one of my favorite books。 Dr。 Seuss does an amazing job with making everything seem so realistic。 Sally and Sam were having a very boring day until The Cat in The Hat showed up to spice some things up。 This book is another great book for elementary kids。

Part of the difficulty in developing HSV vaccines relates to the way that alpha-herpesviruses， which include HSV， have evolved a sophisticated mechanism for evading immune responses that might destroy them。 After infecting mucosal tissues of the mouth or genitourinary tract， HSV works its way to the tips of sensory nerves that transmit signals responsible for sensations such as pain and touch。 With the help of a specialized molecular switch， the virus then breaks into the nerve cell， hitching a Part of the difficulty in developing HSV vaccines relates to the way that alpha-herpesviruses， which include HSV， have evolved a sophisticated mechanism for evading immune responses that might destroy them。 After infecting mucosal tissues of the mouth or genitourinary tract， HSV works its way to the tips of sensory nerves that transmit signals responsible for sensations such as pain and touch。 With the help of a specialized molecular switch， the virus then breaks into the nerve cell， hitching a ride on molecules that transport it along a nerve fiber and into the nucleus of the sensory neuron。 So while the mucosal infection is soon cleared by the immune response， the infected neurons become a sanctuary from the body’s immune system， with HSV leaving only when stirred by rises in steroids or other stress-elevated hormones in the host。 It is also Known that Only NATURAL HERBAL REMEDIES can permanently Cure this infection And i Recommend HERBALIST RAZOR NATURAL MEDICINE to everyone out there trusting and hoping for medical therapies or pill。 Contact HERBALIST RAZOR on email drrazorherbalhome@gmail。com 。   Visit his website  https://herbalistrazorherb。wixsite。co。。。 。。。more

This book does amazing at educating children on how to not trust walking cats！ The story is gripping filled with many twists and turns that the reader just would never suspect！ Overall it is an amazing written work of ART of a story！ I'd give it a 16/17， I only deducted a point because dogs are better than cats。 This book does amazing at educating children on how to not trust walking cats！ The story is gripping filled with many twists and turns that the reader just would never suspect！ Overall it is an amazing written work of ART of a story！ I'd give it a 16/17， I only deducted a point because dogs are better than cats。 。。。more
