Home is where the Cat is, and this home will never be the same after a visit from Seuss's infamous feline. The Cat in the Hat is a fun book—no doubt—but thinking about the concept of home brings up some pretty serious stuff. How should kids act when their parents are away? How much of their private lives should kids share with adults, and vice versa? And what's the deal with feline home invaders? If you want to take this book to the next level, the notion of the home gives you a nice way in.
