Summary: A book from my past
Review: I read a funny book called The Cat in the Hat Comes Back. It was written by Dr. Seuss. This book was funny because everyone thought he was bad because of the tricks he plays on people. I think the Cat in the hat is a funny person because he seems harmless and funny. That's why he is my favorite character. The Cat just wanted to help and so he did but of course he made a mess. The children were not happy but after a while they were shocked by how he cleaned up so fast. Dr. Seuss has many books out and this is one of my favorites.

Summary: The Genius of Dr. Seus
Review: I remember as a child having The Cat In The Hat Comes Back being read to me before bedtime. The strongest memory I posses from those times was the unforgettable sense of being captivated to the last page. As I picked up the book again for an English book report dealing with a series of children�s books and their contributions to creativity, colorful characters in literature, nonstop action, and the use of the English language in a creative way, I realized the book was just as cool as it was as a little kid. Dr. Seuss is a master of creating ever increasing scenarios in the plots, like the pink stain situation that the kids have to deal with getting worse and worse, and characters that keep you flipping the pages to the very end. Seuss�s unique creativity and style captures the imagination and the interest of adults and kids alike. Especially kids though, I remember having my mom read the book to me many times, and each individual time kept me on the edge of my seat wondering where the pink spots would splatter onto next, and what those poor kids would do ! The book is great, it has a great climax, cool ending, and is written by one of the best authors in literature. I think his true genius lies in the fact that he makes a great story from simply simplicity, and this truth is best displayed in The Cat in the hat comes back by Dr. Seuss.

Summary: this is a report for school
Review: I've always liked Dr. Seuss books from when I was 3 to 10 I would always read them. I think this book is great for kids of all ages. It's especially great for beginning readers. Its about how the cat in the hat comes to theses 2 kids house and they are shoveling snow and he takes a bath while eating cake and leaves a ring in the tub. He uses all these things to get the ring off but the pink keeps spreading and eventually it's all over the place. Then they finally they get it all out of the house and its all over out side and the snow is pink. I'm not going on because I'm not supposed to give away the ending.

Summary: Dr. Seuss' Best Book of All
Review: It's funny after thirty years - reading these books all over again as a parent. I remembered bits and pieces of the 1st Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs, Horton, etc. but I remembered this entire story - so absolutely ridiculous and riveting for kids and just as good as an adult. Seuss is the Michael Jordan of children's books - there will never be another like him - this one was his best.

Summary: My daughter loves this and my husband hates it
Review: My daughter LOVES this book but my husband hates reading it! I don't mind. Interesting that they slyly stuck the ABCs into the story. One reviewer complained about "Kill those spots" but I didn't find the imagery violent at all. Just a fun, whimsical, rhyming book!

Summary: THIS ONE IS MY PERSONAL FAVORITE OF SEUSS'S BOOKS
Review: My kids gave me a copy of THE CAT IN THE HAT COMES BACK for my birthday a few years ago. I thanked them politely and that was that. Then I started reading it again for the first time in about 30 years. I was laughing out loud on almost every page! I had forgotten how funny this story was. Or perhaps I just didn't get the humor when I was a kid. At any rate, this little book is now one of my all-time favorites, grown-up books included. --George Stancliffe

Summary: Not As Good As Cat In The Hat
Review: Recently bought this for my daughter after she loved Cat In The Hat. However, I don't find the story anywhere as inspired and the rhyming is weaker. It's a pity he left out the fish. The proof is in the pudding: my daughter requests The Cat In The Hat more, followed by Green Eggs and Ham.

Summary: Learning from Experience
Review: Researchers constantly find that reading to children is valuable in a variety of ways, not least of which are instilling a love of reading and improved reading skills. With better parent-child bonding from reading, your child will also be more emotionally secure and able to relate better to others. Intellectual performance will expand as well. Spending time together watching television fails as a substitute. To help other parents apply this advice, as a parent of four I consulted an expert, our youngest child, and asked her to share with me her favorite books that were read to her as a young child. The Cat in the Hat Comes Back was one of her picks. The theme of this story builds from The Cat in the Hat. In that story, two children are home alone when the cat in the hat visits, makes a horrible mess, and manages to clean it all up just as mother returns. Although the family fish warned them about the cat, the children were gullible. In this story, the children are not gullible, but the cat takes advantage of them anyway. The children are home alone shoveling deep snow while their mother is away in town for the day. The cat in the hat goes into the house before they can stop him, and eats cake in the bath tub while bathing. They told him to get out and pulled the plug. Unfortunately, that left a long pink cat ring. A contrite, but overconfident, cat in the hat says he'll take care of everything. But he just moves the pink mess from one valuable object to another, starting with mother's white dress. He is a very foolish cat! Soon, he needs help. In his hat are 26 little cats from A to Z who are specialists at cleaning up the messes he just made. Eventually, the outside snow is so covered in pink spots so that the whole yard is one big spot! Then he calls on Z who is too small to see, and Z finishes the job. Everything is back in order. This beginning reader is also designed to help with the alphabet. Long before the book can be read by your child, the alphabet sequence will be helpful. The book is moe difficult to read than The Cat in the Hat, so your child will probably not attempt it unless and until that book is mastered. There are many subtle messages here that any parent can endorse. One, you have to be careful about letting people in your house. Although the cat in the hat is not sinister, children need to understand that lesson in a nonfrightening way. Two, if you know someone is a troublemaker, you'd better keep them away from mischief. Children are very accepting of mischievous children who set bad examples. This gives you a chance to praise the good behavior of the children while questioning the appropriateness of the cat's behavior. What else could the children have done? They will have this issue with friends in years to come. Three, the smallest cat is the most powerful. That's a rare voice in favor of examining people and animals for their worth in effectiveness rather than their size. Diminutive children will like this part. Four, by being persistent in dealing with the cat, everything turns out all right. Children need to learn that persistence can overcome adversity. Five, thinking ahead can save a lot of problems. If the children had given the cat some paper towels in the beginning or knew how to wash out a bath tub themselves, the complications would have been minor. As you read the story together, you can emphasize these lessons to help your child. When you are both done with the book, you should discuss how problems can be prevented by anticipation. This is a good way to help your child's problem-solving ability mature. Enjoy!
