Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
He may be an old standby, but he never lets us down. When in doubt, turn to the story of the cat that transformed a dull, rainy afternoon into a magical and just-messy-enough adventure. There's another, hidden adventure, too: this book really will help children learn to read. With his simple and often single-vowel vocabulary, the good Doctor knew what he was doing: hear it, learn it, read it--laughing all the way. The Cat in the Hat is a must for any child's library.

Illus. in color. The Cat in the Hat came to play one rainy, nothing-to-do afternoon. His hilarious antics are "recommended for all libraries."--(starred) School Library Journal.

Of all the Suess books the most memorable of my childhood was Go, Dog, Go. However, I loved The Cat in the Hat. I read it to my children and gave it to my grandchildren. I read this so many times to my five children, that I have it memorized. Other books in my memorized Seuss repertoire are One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, Green Eggs and Ham, and Hop of Pop. It's fun to hear my daughters read these aloud to their children with ExAcTlY the same inflections and voices. Maybe all those years of reading aloud every night (and all day long) were good for more than I knew. Anyway, Dr. Suess's books deserve a place in children's literature today as well as when he was new during my childhood. Racist my eye!

Dear Amazon,
Long time Prime and Kindle customer. Please be advised that I will cancel you if I hear you cancel Dr. Seuss. Just one dude that spends money on your platform. I love Amazon, and would hate to let you go.

“Cat in the Hat “must be the most famous and beloved childrens beginner reading book of all time. Heavy on phonics, with charming illustrations, “Cat in the Hat” defines classic.
Dr. Seuss not only invented the genre, he has never been replaced as its king. This book is one of my all-time favorites for beginning readers, only, perhaps, tied with Dr. Seuss’s “Green Eggs and Ham”and “Fox in Socks. “
Perfect as a read aloud for toddlers, the book is also loved by older children . What a master Dr. Seuss was! His books for older readers are also wonderful. “Cat in the Hat” is compelling, funny, big hearted and memorable. Could learning possibly be more fun?

it has been beautifully designed to be read out aloud
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 28, 2017Verified Purchase
I never read these as a kid. Now I'm a dad, and I needed some English-language books to read to my son (his native language is Dutch).
At first he didn't want to read The Cat In The Hat - it didn't have a monster, a tiger or a pooping dinosaur on the cover.
Thankfully papa insisted. My lad was immediately transfixed. The story has a rhythm, it has been beautifully designed to be read out aloud. It feels like it was written using a small set of fairly short words; these are then smartly combined to keep text fresh and build the rhythm.
That was about a week ago; now my son is constantly asking papa to read the Cat Hat book. What more can I say? It's a masterpiece.

Rhyming Mischievous Cat
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 28, 2020Verified Purchase
This story really kept my 4 years old attention... a rhyming story about a cat who visits a pair of children who have nothing to do a rainy day and the mischief he gets up to.
Also teaches them to tidy up after themselves which my son noticed so always a positive!
We purchased this after being a fan of the grinch who stole Christmas... another good book in the series to try.

Beautiful book, great to read aloud
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 4, 2020Verified Purchase
Chosen for a virtual lockdown read from us grandparents to 2 year old grand daughter. It’s quite a long story; 15 minutes to read but she kept attention throughout, Despite her not knowing the story previously.
Poetic, fun to read, and a naughty cat story that puts everything right before mum comes home. A great bedtime reading choice.

I grew up to Cat in the Hat - zany, outrageous, fun, educational... how wonderful that it's not only still going, but the #1 best-seller in children's poetry apparently! Definitely ordering a few versions for nostalgia and inspiration!
