I loved this book! I read this during my first year of college and had such a great time with it that I actually found myself late to classes because I just couldn't put it down!

We've all chuckled at The Cat in the Hat's antics, mused about what goes into Green Eggs and Ham, bristled at the mistreatment of Horton, and wondered at the silliness of those Sneetches.

Many memories will be shared over a good book, starting with the time-honored tradition of the bed-time story. Who here remembers begging their parents to read just one more book?
