My favourite cat in the hat books is Dr Seuss books because:

The children love Dr sues book Generations of children have cut their reading teeth on the simple rhymes and elaborate illustrations of Dr.Seuss books. The endearing characters of these books live on in our memories. The rhyme schemes also live on, adapted for every imaginable purpose, including parody, movies and even a Broadway show entitled "Seussical the Musical."

My own Seuss immersion started with the classic the cat in the book who can forget the wreckage wrought by this mischievous feline and his cohorts in crime, Thing 1 and Thing 2? Later, there was the cat in the hat comes back, but, like so many movie sequels of today, it failed to reach the heights of hilarity of the original.

That is what the cat in the hat story is all about, in the mind of children’s. Poor Dick and Sally. 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. It shows how kids can relate to books and the way the technology is moving fast. The children of today are so very clever.
