The Cat in the Hat is another one of Dr. Seuss' famous books. It is the story of a mischievous cat who comes to the house of two children. The children are bored so they count on the cat to entertain them. Little did they know, the cat in the hat is about to get them in a world of trouble. He invites creatures into their house that end up destroying everything. It is total chaos and the children realize that they are going to be in huge trouble if everything does not get cleaned up before their parents arrive home. They are forced to tell the cat in the hat that everything needs to be cleaned out and the house needs to be put in the same order that is was when he arrived. Luckily, the children get everything back to normal just as their mother is pulling in the driveway. This story also contains a lot of rhyming, which makes it ideal for young readers. Not only do they enjoy hearing rhyming, it makes it easier for them to remember the story. This story shows kids that sometimes being bored is better than getting yourself in to trouble. Those two children will probably think twice before complaining about having nothing to do.
