Why read it?

Sally and Sam were having a dull day at home when they received the unexpected visit of a cat in a hat. So begins this little tale, which Dr. Seuss wrote by rhyming 220 words in delightful and creative ways.
Just like Sally and Sam are saved from their boredom by the Cat in the Hat, so will your children revel in this brief tale of adventure and mischief. They will especially enjoy the rhyming prose, the quirky illustrations, and the naughty tomcat himself.
