The Cat in the Hat

Not the greatest translation

I bought 'The Cat in the Hat Comes Back' in spanish first for my son which he loves and is very fun to read. Then i bought the first one, 'The Cat in the Hat' in spanish for him and it has been a great disappointment. The translation seems to have been done in a hurry when they did it because there is no rhyming in the text. In the 'Cat returns' book and other well translated Dr. Seuss books like 'Huevos Verdes con Jamon' the text rhymes in spanish just like it does in english, which is one of the most enjoyable aspects of most Dr. Seuss books. But, this book in spanish 'The Cat in the Hat' does not rhyme. it is a simple literal translation of the story in spanish. Very non-Dr. Seuss-ish.

Too Confyusin!!!!!!!

I find this book is too hard for the likes of mankind. Simply, anyone who read this is clearly an alien or somethingl.Is the hat made of cotton, or polyester? Does this hat contain lice eggs? Dr. Seuss clearly hatched a very hard book.

the cat in the hat by dr. seuss
this is about a girl and boy and how they sit in their home while their mother went to townn. a cat walks in and wants to have fun with them.
the fish is not for it at all and tells him to leave. the children play with different things and the whole house turns into a mess and they see
their mother about to walk in the door when the cat calls upon things one and thing two to help clean up the mess. they do it before the mom walks
in the door and the cat leaves. the ending question is do you tell your mom what you did while she was gone or just say you looked out the window all day.....

Love Suess. Love this. It's his best book without doubt.

Review

An absolute classic. Dr. Seuss only practices his best here over control of the English language.

Must Read For All Families

This book is about a mischievous cat and his way to brighten a rainy day. However, is this book sending the right message out to children? I know if I were not home, I would not want my children to let in a strange talking cat-in-a-hat. On the other hand, it does show how the children realized their wrong doing. Also, I'd like to shed some emphasis on the illustrations; although there is not a lot of color, the little color there is brings out the main point of the illustrations. Overall, I would have to say this book is entertaining and I would highly recommend it to families as a tool to enforce stranger safety, or even as a fun story to share.

An Awesome Read For Children.

The Cat In The Hat by Dr.Seuss is a great childrens book. This book takes your fantasy on a flight and it never flaps its wings down to the ground until the end. It has been an eye opener in terms of fantastic read alouds .I don't think there are as many entertaining read alouds - for the reader, as The Cat in the Hat. I simply get carried away each time I start. By the end of the book, I am entranced. This is clearly a read aloud winner for the reader. But the good news is that listeners also get a great deal. The pictures are fantastic, the plot is unpredictable, the chaos is so overwhelming that the entire ride is just a big roller coaster that is seemingly waiting to crash somewhere. The Cat in the Hat is "The" book that introduced my kids to a world of imaginary and incredible events, so that it has a special significance for them.

The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. So we sat in the house all that cold, cold, wet day. This book takes your fantasy on a flight and it never flaps its wings down to the ground until the end.

The Cat in the Hat is "The" book that introduced my kids to a world of imaginary and incredible events, so that it has a special significance for them. It is indeed a fantastic read aloud and will also come in handy when the kids start learning to read. The quality of the edition is really nice, with a firm, resistant hard cover. No dust sleeve included and no dust sleeve needed. The Cat in the Hat is frantic action from start to finish, but all good clean fun. The children's verdict is not a perfect 10, as it is a book that is slightly longer to finish in one go as a read aloud, but also difficult to break up "into chapters". It doesn't reflect on the quality of the book, rather on its read aloud quality. On the other hand, for the reader it is smooth sailing all the way. I feel that I haven't given The Cat in the Hat enough credit in my review, as it is simply impossible to sublimate the significance of the book for US children's literature.But that is a completely different topic. VERDICT: SNAP IT UP!

A definite must

The Cat in the Hat is often quoted in our house, by young and old alike. Our children have become known as Thing One and Thing Two so I think this book has made an impression on them as well :-) It is an absolute necessity in any household with small children!

The Cat in the Hat

I love the Cat in the Hat...read it to my boys when they were little, read it when I tutored kids in grade school, and now am buying it for new mothers/little ones. It is a perfect book to use to teach children to read, and fun for adults as well. Our boys never got tired of hearing it or reading it, another favorite for generations to come.

Great Book!

My 2 year old has this book and I also bought it for my 18 month old niece. They both love it and it is easy for my husband and me to read it to our daughter. It is also great to bring it along with us when we travel. Dr. Seuss definitely does not disappoint.

Great classic

What can be cooler then reading books to your child that your parents read to you. Dr.Suess is awesome! Also check out The Journey of a Grape.

Perfect book for my 2 year old grandson!

My grandson is 2 years old and he loves this book. We have read it so much that he can sit down with the book and almost recite it word for word. He loves this book.

The Cat in the Hat

This is a great youngsters readers book.It shows great illustrations and A creative rhyming story. I am personally a fan of the sequel "The Cat and the Hat Comes Back" and of many other Dr.Seuss books they are all so different in there own ways but they all rhyme which I love. This is a classic must read.

Best Children's Book Ever

I purchased this book for a baby shower when we were asked to bring our "favorite" childhood book. It was my favorite growing up and it was also my three sons' favorite. In fact, for two of my sons I was asked to read their favorite in front of their elementary school class. We can all probably recite the entire book from memory, but it's much more fun seeing the illustrations.

Great Book

This is an awesome Book to have in one's own library.

Everyone should own Seuss works, along with Ohio Blue Tips by Jeanne E. Clark, The Photos In The Closet by Daniel E. Lopez, and works by Alison Townsend.

Cat in the Hat for English

I love this book. Dr. Suess truly is a genius when it comes to writing children books. As I read it, it made me remember all of my fun child times. The book also has great picture and color detail. If you ever want a book to remind you of childhood, I definitely recommend the Cat in the Hat, it is a short, fast read book that is enjoyable.
