That behatted and bow-tied cat from Dr. Seuss''s The Cat in the
Hat is back, and, not surprisingly, is up to all sorts of mischief.
This time, Sally and her brother are stuck shoveling snow: "This
was no time for play. This was no time for fun. This was no time
for games. There was work to be done." But--you guessed it--the
laughing Hat Cat has other ideas, as he lets himself in to eat cake
in their tub. He leaves behind "a big long pink cat ring," which he
then handily cleans with "MOTHER''S WHITE DRESS!" The dress then
loses its pink stain to the wall, then Dad''s shoes, then the rug in
the hall, until finally the Cat must call in some assistance: from
inside his hat comes Little Cat A, then Littler Cats B, C, D, E,
and so on, nested like dolls in ever tinier hats. With this pack of
felines, Sally and her brother may get rid of those stains, but
they''ll likely never be rid of that rascally cat. As should be
expected from the good doctor, The Cat in the Hat Comes Back
provides an excellent reader and alphabet primer for those just
learning, not to mention ample laughs for everyone else. Ages 4 to
8 --Paul Hughes
