Product Description
This Dr. Seuss classic can be experienced in any of three reading modes
On-screen instructions help children through the book their first time
Children can read along with the highlighted words and touch images on the screen to see the corresponding words pop up
Oh, that Cat in the Hat, such a pesky old thing! When he comes to your house, it is trouble he'll bring.
With his loud, messy games, he's a meddlesome one, but despite all his tricks he can make reading fun!
What? A Cat in a Hat with a Tie on the Loose? Yes Indeed, from That Master of Rhyme, Dr. Seuss
With nothing to do on a cold, cold, wet day when their mother is out, Sally and her brother are visited by that lovable trickster, the Cat in the Hat. As their house gets messier and messier and Thing 1 and Thing 2 come out to play, it's up to the children to stop the madness, and it's up to the Cat to make good. Entertaining kids and adults since 1957, this Dr. Seuss classic is now available digitally for your Android device with fun, exclusive features to help your children enjoy reading.
Choose to Hear It Aloud or Just Read It Alone; With the Cat You Can Have Lots of Fun on Your Phone
Much more than a regular ebook, this Oceanhouse Media "omBook" is sure to enhance your child's learning experience with three ways to read it: Read to Me, Read It Myself, or Auto Play. Read to Me allows your child to listen to the story with a professional audio narration, highlighting the words as they are read. Read It Myself allows your child to read each page in a traditional manner. Auto Play plays the story like a movie, automatically reading and turning the pages; this is the best option for very young children.
But That Is Not All, Oh No, That Is Not All; This App's Meant for All Kids No Matter How Small
Pages turn with a swipe and sound like a real book
Touch a Word, Start to Learn with Each Sound and Page Turn
As children turn from page to page, they can touch the screen and learn new vocabulary. Words on the screen are highlighted when the narration reaches them, making it simple for even the youngest of readers to follow along and recognize each word. Touching the words or long-pressing any paragraph will highlight and repeat the word aloud. To increase picture and word association, children can also touch any image on the screen and the word will pop up, identifying the object in bright, bold letters.
Want to Hear It with Voice? Well You Can, It's Your Choice
The professional narration enlivens the story with powerful and unique voices for each character. The silly voices are perfectly paired with Seuss's artwork on each page. There are also background music and sound effects to complement the events of the story. The lively narration, original illustrations, and funny sound effects are sure to make your little ones giggle.
This Book Here Is Acclaimed But Do Not Believe Us; Just Read Some of Its Praise to See What Is the Fuss.

My 2 1/2 year old loves when I read this book to him and was mesmerized with the autoplay, we can't wait for Horton. I suppose we'll be collecting these like we did the books.

This is great at .99¢! Not sure I would pay $4 though! My 2 year old loves it on auto play. It could definitely be a little more interactive instead of just showing the words when you touch something.

This brings me so much joy as an adult, and the possibility of a child not enjoying reading books like this doesn't even compute

Excellent rendering of a classic book
Really great stuff here. This is a good book anyway, but the voices, colors and graphics used really do it justice. I love using this with my 1 1/2 year old.
