“The Cat in the Hat” written and illustrated by Dr. Seuss in 1957 tells the story of a mischievous cat who entertains two children Sally and her brother with wild antics while their mother is away.
Despite their pet fish’s objections the cat aided by Thing One and Thing Two causes a mess in the house but cleans up just in time.
Dr. Seuss wrote this book to offer a more engaging reading primer than traditional ones like Dick and Jane.
He chose words from a limited list creating a story from the first two rhyming words he found: cat and hat.
The book was a huge success leading to the creation of Beginner Books and becoming a signature Dr. Seuss work.
It inspired adaptations including a 1971 animated special and a 2003 film.
The plot revolves around the cat’s arrival at the children’s house on a rainy day offering entertainment through increasingly chaotic tricks which includes introducing Thing One and Thing Two.
The story concludes with the cat cleaning up and leaving just as their mother returns leaving the children to ponder whether to tell her about their adventurous day.
