Description

The sentient fish, who appears to supervise the kids and is the sole voice of sanity here, sensibly protests ( He should not be here. He should not be about. He should not be here When your mother is out!) - and immediately gets physically threatened and abused. Terrified, it demands the abuse to stop - "This is no fun at all! Put me down! [...] I do NOT wish to fall!" - and narrowly avoids death. Hilarious, right?

Geisel gave varying accounts of how he conceived of The Cat in the Hat. According to the story Geisel told most often, he was so frustrated with the word list that William Spaulding had given him that he finally decided to scan the list and create a story out of the first two words he found that rhymed. The words he found were cat and hat. [8] World Book Day, celebrated annually on March 2nd, is a day dedicated to promoting the joy of reading and books. In the UK, it has become a tradition for children to dress up as their favorite characters from books, making it a fun and creative day at schools across the nation. Based on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association listed The Cat in the Hat as one of its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children". [33] In 2012, it was ranked number 36 among the "Top 100 Picture Books" in a survey published by School Library Journal – the third of five Dr. Seuss books on the list. [34] It was awarded the Early Readers BILBY Award in 2004 and 2012. [35] Though it could be used as a way to teach kids about rhymes, as well as what's real and not real... my recommendation with this one is to just HAVE FUN! Act out all the scenes. Make it a fun Saturday experience with your kids, friends, nephews, nieces, cousins.

The classic character from Lewis Carroll's beloved book is also a popular choice for World Book Day. Children dress up in a blue dress, with a white apron, and a headband with a bow to become Alice. The Cat in the HatSally Flowers, head teacher at the London's North Ealing Primary school, sees World Book Day as an opportunity to encourage pupils’ love of reading. Yeah, if this creature barged into my house, I'd be curled up in a ball in a corner, wailing and wetting myself. Geisel once called the fish "my version of Cotton Mather", the Puritan moralist who advised the prosecutors during the Salem witch trials. [41] Betty Mensch and Alan Freeman support this view, writing, "Drawing on old Christian symbolism (the fish was an ancient sign of Christianity) Dr. Seuss portrays the fish as a kind of ever-nagging superego, the embodiment of utterly conventionalized morality." [41] Philip Nel notes that other critics have also compared the fish to the superego. Anna Quindlen called the Cat "pure id" and marked the children, as mediators between the Cat and the fish, as the ego. [41] Mensch and Freeman, however, argue that the Cat shows elements of both id and ego. [41] I don’t know you, but I found this quite creepy and I’d be worried if that dang cat would be left alone with my children!

In fact, as a child, I don’t think I found this book amusing at all. It preyed on all my worst fears like being ‘home alone,’ having pushy strangers take control, and scary ‘clown-like’ accessories like monster hats. I much preferred Suess’ nonthreatening One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.

Upon reading the article, William Spaulding, the director of Houghton Mifflin's education division, decided to take Hershey's idea to the next level. He invited Dr. Seuss over for dinner and asked him to create an exciting children's book that would encourage them to read. "Write me a story that first-graders can't put down!" he repeatedly exclaimed to Dr. Seuss. The Cat in the Hat 's popularity also led to increased popularity and exposure for Geisel's previous children's books. For example, 1940's Horton Hatches the Egg had sold 5,801 copies in its opening year and 1,645 the following year. In 1958, the year after the publication of The Cat in the Hat, 27,643 copies of Horton were sold, and by 1960 the book had sold a total of over 200,000 copies. [47] She said: “This [challenge] gives students the opportunity to expand their repertoire of book genres. We saw how it has engaged reluctant readers as they find pleasure in graphic novels and finally find what they like to read.” The Disney classic is a popular choice for World Book Day.
