The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss is a classic. This crazy cat comes into a young boy and girls room on a rainy day, and lets them have fun. The cat is kind of mischievous and makes a mess in the room! He brought Thing One and Thing Two with him to help him perform tricks and things to keep the children entertained and allowing them to have fun! He feels guilty about the mess, however, and cleans up and disappears right before the mother returns.
I feel like deep down we all want a cat in the hat to visit us sometimes. It is a fun, light hearted story that gives us hope for a rainy day. It brings out the child in everyone when reading this book, whether it gives us some imagination back, or reminds us of our childhood reading this book, or sitting in our rooms super bored. The illustrations are amazing, and a little crazy. I do not thing the cat in the hat would mean the same, or have the same affect if he didn't look exactly as he does! Even Things One and Two are the perfect looking characters for the part. I love how there is a lot of random color and just simple drawings.
