The Cat in the Hat
Written and illustrated by Dr. Seuss
Publication Date: 1957
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0-394-90001-4
According to the quick search I did on Wikipedia, this story was written in response to a challenge to write a book for children using a limited number of words considered important for children starting school to be familiar with.
Obviously, this is a classic that we remember from our own childhoods, and with good reason. The rhyming is engaging, the story is fantastical (a weird-looking cat wearing an oversized hat who just shows up on the doorstep and wrecks havoc!), and there’s enough suspense to keep us all interested to the last word.
My rating: 4.5 out of 5
