I picked The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss because I remember it from my childhood. On the cover is a drawn cat wearing a red and white hat with a white bow tie on. This book has 63 pages. Sally, The Cat in the Hat, the fish, and the boy are the main characters. The scene is the children's living room, it is very simply drawn with very few colors.
It is a cold rainy day when sally and her brother are at home. The Cat in the Hat shows up and says they can have lots of fun on this day though. He picks up the fish and starts doing all sorts of crazy things while doing it.
The book has an animal as a character, uses rhyme, kids as characters, humor, illustrations, color, a sentimental tone, and teaches a lesson.
My favorite sentence is, "But we can have lots of good fun that is funny!" I think this book is appropriate for around ages 3-6. It is good to explore your imagination and learn lessons in the time frame. I liked this book as a kid because of the way Dr. Seuss books rhymed and had funny plots.
