Summary: The Cat and the Hat
Review: The book is about two young children who are down because it is raining and they can't go out and play. Then there is a knock on the door that changes their whole day. After a ton of fun with the cat, their mom comes home and the children have to clean up before she walks through the door. I think that the book shows a good example of honesty and to be trustworthy. I think it was a great book and is suitable for kids form the ages of 3-12. Thank you for your time.

Summary: A breath of fresh air!!!
Review: The Cat in the Hat is, quite frankly, the bomb. Period. Being a professional cartoon reviewer and monitor in my free time and the founder of Stop the Violence in Cartoons Foundation, I feel refreshingly reassured that at the end of a long hard day at school(it's where I work as a custodial engineer) that I can come home and read this engaging tale to my youngsters. After cleaning up pungent excrement, piss and vomit at work all day long, The Cat in the Hat provides a most welcome breath of fresh air(pun intended). Keep it up Dr. Seuss!

Summary: Read the fine print . . .
Review: Not what we were expecting . . . my husband apparently didn't read the review when ordering this DVD. It is not the musical version most are familiar with, but rather a static, voice-over of the book. I don't see the point to such a product . . . it basically is doing what a parent should do, which is read the book! Spend your money on the hardcover book rather than this DVD, or wait for the muscial version to be released in Oct.

Summary: I want this cat for a friend!
Review: Have you ever had a cat visit your house and make a BIG mess while your mother was gone? Well, the kids in this book have! I don't need a cat to make MY room all messy, it is messy enough already!

Summary: A word just absurd
Review: I could not not review this book
I could not let it be forsook
for on this day was Geisel born
that we should not be so forlorn

What would I do without the cat?
Where would I be without the hat?
I do not know, I can not say
I wouldn't want to see that day

For in this book, so short and sweet
is such, for all, a great big treat
The cat of mischief, cat of wise
Cat with gleaming knowing eyes

And of the hat!
What's up with that?
Where did those stripes come from?
Yes I know

Poor grammar, oh,
I'm really not that dum!

I would the world would know the cat
I hope the world will wear the hat
Can such a book be left alone?
Can such a tale be overblown?

I thinkest not, I thought antiquely
For this is writing most uniquely
And such will never come again
To grace the page with such a pen

To give us such unbridled joy
To please and, yes, and to annoy
But in the end to satisfy
With merriment and laughing sigh

For on this day we give our thanks
For treasure that is not in banks
But on the printed page before us
Thank you, oh dear Dr. Seuss!

------------------------

I wrote this in honour of Theodor Geisel, also known as Dr. Seuss, on the anniversary of his birthday. Using a vocabulary of a mere 223 words, 'The Cat in the Hat' has become a standard children's classic throughout the English-speaking world. I remember as a child delighting at the discovery of rhyming words and what fun they could be, and when coupled with the imaginative drawings and simple yet engaging plot lines, Dr. Seuss became my favourite almost instantly.

The plot of 'The Cat in the Hat' is simple yet meaningful. A cat, a perfect creature for exhibiting independence and mischief, is befriended by children who express delight, astonishment, and occasional disapproval of their be-hatted feline. Children learn behaviour in a humourous and touching way by relating to the children.

However, all of Seussian literature was almost not to be. Geisel had literally dozens of rejections for his early works, from publishers who doubted the appeal or the marketability. Fortunately for us, Geisel continued to pursue both writing and publication, which he continued up to the time of his death in 1991. He still had a book on the bestseller list at that time.

Long Live Dr. Seuss!

Summary: Jourdon Glasper's Book Review
Review: The Cat In the Hat is a fun book to read. It tells you about
a kid and his sister being bored out of their minds and wishing they had something fun to do. Then all of a sudden a cat that
can walk and talk comes and from then on the book gets interesting. It tells you what you can do to have fun when you're bored, but the book and I recommend that you don't try
this stuff at home because I did it and I'm grounded for a month and I have to do chores without allowance. So I'll say it again; DON'T TRY THIS STUFF AT HOME!!!

Rating: 5 stars

When i read this book i loved it because it was really fun to read with all the ryhming to it and everthing! If you have not read this book you are missing out on a really great book and i suggest you read it as soon as possible.

Summary: Cat and Chaos
Review: Dr. Seuss captured the imagination of our generation when this book debuted. The main character, the nameless but infamous Cat in the Hat comes to a home and drags the kids along on an exciting adventure that pretty much does everything Mom and Dad tell you "not to." And just when things are really messy, he pulls out a dream of an invention that miraculously cleans up the disaster area.

The Cat is annoying, rash, brash. He's really awful. And we love him for these very reasons. Guaranteed to become a most-requested read-me-a-story. Which reminds me, it's my bedtime and where's my copy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Enduring Classic for All time
Review: A charming cat who does delightfully funny things on each page of rhyme and rhythm. The verses will remain into adulthood. Every child should have a copy of this enchanting little picture book, a must for the home library!

Summary: the cat
Review: This is a book that every kid should read before they reach the age of 8. It is a terrific story about a zany cat who visits two kids and changes their lives forever.
