The Cat in the Hat is a beloved children's book written by Dr. Seuss over 50 years ago. The story surrounds two children who are stuck at home one miserable day, bored and lonely. This is followed by the Cat in the Hat entering their house through a closet and ensuring a chaotic, but fun day is to be had. Added to the story is a fish who is opposed to all the antics that are being played out in front of him. The fish constantly says "What would you do if your mother asked you?" in reference to the children's mother who would not approve of what is happening.
The book is well known throughout the entire world and is often known by people, even if they have not read it. The book has bright and colourful pictures, as well as relatively easy to read text.
I personally would use this book in a Year 2/3 class as part of a reading group scenario. This is due to having most students be able to read it independently and easily, but still find enjoyment out of it at the same time.
