The Cat in the Hat

this book is about two little kids who are bored in their house all alone. Ten a cat comes over and shows them how to have fun, but just makes a big mess. Then he has to help them clean the house before the kids mom comes home. Great read, but a little long.

  1. Great story...but my favorite is How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I'm always amazed when the Grinch's heart grew 3 sizes that day! :)

    This is a children's classic and though your commentary is a bit brief and is more than a little tongue-in-cheek, it deserves more comment. For small kids, the idea of some new adventure that would not make mom happy is very exciting. The story, while being fun and exciting, then gets a little scary for them when the fun gets out of control. The big relief comes when the crisis gets solved just in time. I wonder how many kids end up with some of those out-of-control moments not getting fixed in the end.
