Suess quote or book title.
"In the first book featuring the character
(The Cat in the Hat, 1957), the Cat brings a cheerful, exotic and
exuberant form of chaos to a household of two young kids, brother
and sister, one rainy day while their mother leaves them
unattended. The Cat performs all sorts of wacky tricks—the
Cat at one point balances a teacup, some milk, a cake, three books,
the Fish, a rake, a toy boat, a toy man, a red fan, and his
umbrella while he's on a ball to the chagrin of the fish—to
amuse the children, with mixed results. Then, the Cat gets a box
from outside. Inside the box are two creatures named Thing One and
Thing Two, who begin to fly kites in the house. The Cat's antics
are vainly opposed by the family pet, a sapient and articulate
fish. The children (Sally and her unnamed older brother, who serves
as the narrator) ultimately prove exemplary latchkey children,
capturing the Things with a net and bringing the Cat under control.
To make up for the chaos he has caused, he cleans up the house on
his way out, disappearing a second before the mother
arrives.
The book has been popular since its
publication, and a logo featuring the Cat adorns all Dr. Seuss
publications and animated films produced after The Cat in the Hat.
Seuss wrote the book because he felt that there should be more
entertaining and fun material for beginning readers. From a
literary point of view, the book is a feat of skill, since it
simultaneously maintains a strict triple meter, keeps to a tiny
vocabulary, and tells an entertaining tale. Literary critics
occasionally write recreational essays about the work, having fun
with issues such as the absence of the mother and the psychological
or symbolic characterizations of Cat, Things, and Fish. This book
is written in a style common to Dr. Seuss, anapestic tetrameter
(see Dr. Seuss's meters).
More than 11 million copies of The Cat in
the Hat have been printed. It has been translated into more than 12
different languages.[2][3] In particular, it has been translated
into Latin with the title Cattus Petasatus and into Yiddish with
the title "di Kats der Payats".
