Hooray for Hair! (Dr. Seuss/Cat in the Hat)

Dr. Seuss/Cat in the Hat

by Tish Rabe, Tom Brannon (Illustrator)

   The Cat in the Hat goes on a hairy adventure in this leveled reader for independent readers all about--what else?--hair! It's Crazy Hair Day at Sally and Nick's school, and the kids can't pick a style to wear. Curly or straight? Long or short? It's too hard to choose--until the Cat in the Hat arrives with his Wig-o-lator--a machine that allows the kids to "try on" the hairstyles of a yak, a fur seal, and a porcupine--with comical (and educational) results! Written specifically for children learing to read on their own, this Step 3 reader is based on an episode of the PBS KIDS preschool science show The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!   Young readers will flip their wigs over it!

This is about the weakest book in this series. Most of them are pretty good, this one had clunky rhymes and not much to learn. I like most of this series, but, this one was kind of a dud.

Great read!!

Since it is Dr. Seuss week me and my daughter decided to read some Dr. Seuss books before bedtime. It was a cute book.

Simple story, the rhymes aren’t as good as the classic Seuss stories.

I love Dr. Seuss books. And this one is super cute and fun about hair. A fun read for lower elementary grade level students.

What kind of hair do you wear for Crazy Hair Day? Curly, straight, long, short, the options are endless. Well, if you ask Dr.Seuss, you can use the Wig O'Lator to decide. You can have long, shaggy yak hair or prickly, sticking up on top of your head porcupine hair. No matter what you choose, you will definitely have fun!

Like other Dr.Seuss books, this story has an unusual twist. Known for encouraging imaginations, Dr. Seuss has created the Wig O'Lator for this adventure. Children, ages 6-7 may enjoy this book. The illustrations are outrageous but does accentuate the text. Unlike some Dr.Seuss books, this book does not have a rhyming text but it does have some repetitive language which helps young readers master this book.

This was a fun read about two children who were deciding what kind of hair to wear on crazy hair day at school. The Cat in the Hat took them to meet three animals with three very different types of hair to get inspiration. This would be a good read to share with children learning about animal adaptions.

Who doesn't want to read a book titled "Horray for Hair"? :)
