Dr. Seuss - The Cat in the Hat

Rating:
Summary: fairly well job done
Review: This book is great at teaching kids not to let strangers into your house when your mom is not home. Also it teaches children that there is alot to do when it is a rainy day. Yet they realy should of had it take place outside in the sun. Any way it also teaches that you should clean up your mess before you get in trouble.

Summary: NOT THE TV SPECIAL!!`
Review: Be warned!! this Isn't the Tv Special! its just the book being read by someone, however the voices change for each character, go into this thinking "someone reading the book", most of it is just still images of the book with animated rain, and [poor] camera cuts making it look like the cat opened his eyes etc.
after all, why watch this Rubbish when you can Read the book to your kid yourself and do your Own version of the voices. save yourself some cash!

Summary: What to say?
Review: "The Cat in The Hat" by Dr. Seuss

On the first page it starts out with "The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. So we sat in the house. All that cold, cold, wet day."

The setting is a cold rainy day, and the children's mother isn't home. Suddenly walking up the driveway comes The Cat in the Hat. And what a mess he makes. Inviting himself into the house he breaks plates, gets food all over the place, and much, much more. He then brings out of his hat Thing 1 and Thing 2 accompanied then by a lot more Things. They make an even better mess jumping into the goldfish bowl, breaking more plates, and banging pots and pans. Then all the Things go back in the hat and magically everything is put back to normal by a giant vacuum as the mother gets home. She asks, "Did you have any fun? Tell me. What did you do?" The two children don't know what to say. They ask you what you would do if your mother asked you.

This is a good book to read to your children on a cold, wet day, or on any type of day. They should get some laughs out of hearing or reading this book. This may be one of Seuss' harder books to read but it's still an all time favorite like all his other books.

Summary: A great Suess starter book.
Review: Simply put, a classic that kids love and parents don't mind reading again, and again, again. Favorite line from the book? "It's fun to have fun, but you have to know how"

Summary: The Cat In The Hat
Review: I think this book would be good for people to read because it has some rhymes, which make the book fun to read. You could also learn a lot from reading this book, it has words that kids wouldn't normally use. The book was about a girl named Sally and her brother. They get stuck inside on a rainy day. They use their imagination to think of a whole bunch of fun things to do, and act them out in the house. The cat in the hat comes to their bedroom in these illusions. I think this book shows that all kids can have fun on a rainy day, even if they are all stuck inside.

Come on, the Cat in the Hat is perennial favorite for mostly all children. I have loved this book, and all Seus books since I ws very young. This book is highly reccomended as a gift to a little child.

Summary: Nice And Easy
Review: I don't understand what the complaints are about.

My family has about all of the VHS tapes of the Seuss books. Can't wait for the DVDs. Sure, the animation is simple (cut-outs from the books that barely move and accompany the book narration), but it's perfect for little kids. My kids love Seuss. First, they love hearing myself or my wife read the books. Second, after we've read "Cat" or "ABC" or "Green Eggs" ten times, the tape (or now DVD) comes out.

Hey, these aren't computer-generated neon robots that nearly come at you from inside your TV, but quick editing and flashing neon colors don't necessarily make good kiddie entertainment.

I'll stick with the classics.

Summary: EVEN THOUGH I'M A SPEED READING TEACHER, I REFUSE -----
Review: ----TO SPEED READ THIS!!!

Seuss's Rhymes are too addictive. It's more enjoyable to read it slowly, listening to the rhymes.

This book is also a good one for beginning readers to practice. They never lose interest. I've got 8 children, and they all loved this one.

Summary: A must have on your bookshelf!
Review: I grew up with Dr Suess books so I couldn't wait to share them with my own children. The books are illustrated simply, the text is easy to read and creatively laid out and the silly rhymes make me and my children laugh.
What I've noticed from reading them Dr Suess books (they are 1 and 2.5 years) that it has really helped my 2.5 year old with increasing her vocabularly, saying words properly and recognising sounds that a letter or group of letters make. A wonderful series of books to read aloud to your children.
