One of the all time children’s classics The Cat in the Hat is a story shrouded in controversy. ... In the late fifties, he took over two hundred and twenty words that were on the Dolch reading list, which was required by kids to learn, and created the Cat in the Hat. ... However, the family’s fish objects and immediately tells the children that the Cat should not be in the house; that he will only cause trouble. But the Cat insists that there is nothing to worry about and then balances the fish’s bowl atop his umbrella. ... ” The Cat tries to put the fish at ease by showing that not only can he balance the fish safely, but simultaneously balance other things as well. ... The fish, who had fallen out of the bowl and into a teapot, scolds the Cat for his irresponsibility and lack of respect. The Cat refuses to leave and instead suggests another form of entertainment. ... The Cat once again insists that the fish has nothing to worry about. ... The children act quickly and capture “Thing One and Thing Two” in a net and tell the Cat to put them away. The Cat puts them away and leaves looking sad, while the children and the fish look over the mess. The Cat then returns with a machine and cleans up the whole house in an instant. ...
Cat in the Hat was written in 1957.
