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.

Poor Dick and Sally. It''s cold and wet and they''re stuck in the
house with nothing to do... until a giant cat in a hat shows up,
transforming the dull day into a madcap adventure and almost
wrecking the place in the process! Written by Dr. Seuss in 1957 in
response to the concern that "pallid primers [with] abnormally
courteous, unnaturally clean boys and girls'' were leading to
growing illiteracy among children, The Cat in the Hat the first
Random House Beginner Book changed the way our children learn how
to read.
