Only domesticated cats work for Option 1.
Sorry to disqualify the big cats.

Travels with Epicurus: A Journey to a Greek Island in Search of a Fulfilled Life by Daniel Klein is approved for travel : Option 4.
Hello! I have a book with a MPG of Science Fiction > Time Travel. I'm guessing this doesn't count for "travel", but thought I'd ask anyway. :) Thanks.

This is a two book task. Read one book from two different options.
REQUIRED: Identify which options you select when you post.
No books with the genre Childrens or Kids may be used.
Schools across the United States celebrate March 2, the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel, affectionately known as Dr. Seuss, which is also National Read Across America Day, with book-themed activities and lessons. Dr. Seuss’s whimsical books with rhyming text and silly illustrations, endeared them to me as a young child, as they did many other readers. Who doesn’t remember the thrill of reading Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat in the Hat? In addition, many of the books have wonderful life lessons that appeal to all ages.
Option 1: The Cat in the Hat
Since it was published in 1957, children have continued to fall in love with this classic featuring the spunky cat in his signature red and white striped hat on the cover.
>Read a book with a cat on the cover.
REQUIRED: Include the cover when posting.
Option 2: Birthday
Dr. Seuss was born March 2, 1904.
>Read a book FIRST published in March of any year or FIRST published in 1904.
Option 3: The Lorax
The Lorax, one of Dr. Seuss’s most popular books, is beautifully illustrated.
>Read a book written by an author whose first and last name initials can be found in THE LORAX.
Middle name initials may be ignored. Letters may only be used as often as they appear. Spaces determine name. One qualifying author in a work by multiple contributors works.
Option 4: Travel
One of my favorite Dr. Seuss books is Oh, The Places You'll Go!.
>Read a book with main page genre travel. Genre may be stand alone or embedded.
