Reviews

[Sophia Triad]

Definitely lacks the magic of the original story by Dr Seuss.

[Molly]

read it for my boys...hope when they see the video I did, they love it as much as I loved doing it.

[Simba]

This is a truly, truly awful book. No rhymes, a complete travesty. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK THINKING IT IS THE ORIGINAL. That's what I did and it was terribly disappointing.

The Dr Seuss book is excellent. The Jesse Leon McCann book adaptation of the screenplay is a waste of paper. It's dull, vapid, and I can't picture many kids sitting through the full thing. The child I bought it for certainly didn't.

[Litwithlove]

This is the movie version of the original cat in the hat book by dr.seuss, its not nearly as entertaining or as endearing as the classic. Its pretty much "book based off of a movie" quality, it lacks heart and has big plot holes.

[Kelsey Thomas]

Many kids know this book and story and therefore value the story and find it interesting. All Dr. Suess books are perfect at keeping children engaged due to the bright colors and fun play on words.

I really wish I never saw the movie version, because I still can't get Mike Meyers' voice out of my head as I read this story. It would have been a much better book in my opinion (although I love Dr. Seuss' clever rhyming).

Sally and Conrad are extremely bored while their mom heads out for the day to prepare for her party. But their day becomes anything but boring when The Cat in the Hat shows up on the doorstep!

[Nydia Munoz]

This book teaches children to have wild imaginations. it also teaches onomatopoeia's.



Learning extension: The children can learn more about onomatopoeia's by giving them an activity. They can circle the the words that they believe are onomatopoeia's.

[Tristan Doane]

The Cat in the Hat is a book that all children should read while growing up. The pictures and the rhymes are brilliant and it truly is a fun book to read. And i'm sure everyone else can say the same thing.

A different story from the original Seuss story, but still a great story with fun drawings!

[Karisa Carmichael]

This book was very cute. It teaches kids how to have fun inside on a rainy day instead of playing video games like they do in today's world.

[Cassie Stillions]

when i was a little kid i used to read it to myself and to others and when i was even younger i had my mother read it to me it is such a cute little story for young children

[Brooke]

Gotta love the classics. Yes, it's modernized but Dr. Suess will always be classics as far as I'm concerned.
