Joining the ranks of characters who live on long after their creators has passed away, it's The Cat in the Hat!

Here, you get to see the cat, Thing 1 and Thing 2, and the two kids as they explore the basics of flowering plants. The prose is at an appropriate level for kids who like the longer Dr. Seuss books. The illustrations (by Aristides Ruiz) are so close to the original that I couldn't tell the difference.

The only minor quibble is that the words don't flow QUITE as well as Theodore Geisel's words. Then again, few writer's words do. Also, Ms. Worth is faced with trying to teach a subject and entertain at the same time. At that task, she succeeds admirably.

Highly recommended.

I have yet to buy a Cat in the Hat Learning Library that me and my kids did not like. I even learn something from these books!!

Our grandson is really interested in flowers and gardening and thought this book would be of interest to him. He just LOVES it and enjoys reading it to his younger brother. Of course there are words he needs help with but he is only 6 but reads at a 3rd grade level, so this was a perfect choice!

Nothing is more enjoyable to a Grandma than giving a gift that a child can not only enjoy but learn from at the same time. Two thumbs up on this book!

We visit British Columbia every summer for our grandson's birthday. He'll be eight in July, and I'm taking this book for one of his gifts. Gardening is one of my passions, and I hope he'll learn the joy it can bring. This little book is loaded with helpful information - I learned a few things myself!

This is a neat way with true Dr. Suess rhyme on how a seed becomes a plant. Fairly in depth but great layout and story to learn off of.

Love this book!! It gives nonfiction science content in a Dr. Seuss format. Keeps the kids' interest while they learn science - excellent!

This is a cute book for older elementary students, but adults can learn something from it as well. The information about basic botany is really accurate, and it is presented in an entertaining manner.

My 4 year old really enjoys this whole series of Cat in the Hat books. He loves "reading" about insects, flowers, space, etc. The format of this series of books is very similar (if not exact)and are easy to follow and keeps a busy boy captivated. The rhyming, illustrations (& antics) keep my son interested and learning in the process.
