Now you can read this Dr. Seuss classic in Chinese or English! Illustrated in full color, this book is a collection of tongue twisters that is an amusing exercise for beginning readers. The Cat in the Hat is a must for any child's library. This is a story of a cat that transformed a dull, rainy afternoon into a magical and just-messy-enough adventure. It also helps children learn to read. With Dr. Seuss's simple and often single-vowel vocabulary, the good Doctor knew what he was doing: hear it, learn it, read it -- laughing all the way.

一個下雨天的午後，不能出去玩，媽媽不在家，小兄妹無聊發呆的時候，門口走進一隻戴帽子的貓。他說下雨天在家裡，一樣可以很好玩。他示範各種好玩的把戲──單腳滾大球，「小魚飛高高」。還帶來「一號」和「二號」兩個小東西，在家裡放風箏，跑來又跑去。戴帽子的貓把家裡搞得一團混亂，還好最後他說：「我自己玩的，自己會整理。」媽媽進門前，家裡一切回復原樣。但是這場混亂在小兄妹心裡，留下很多問題：該向媽媽說起戴帽子的貓嗎？要全部都說嗎？該怎麼說呢？

　　《戴帽子的貓》是蘇斯博士寫的第一本啟蒙讀本，beginner book。因為當時美國沒有適當的童書給低幼啟蒙的孩子。蘇斯博士擔心孩子因此不喜歡看書，所以接受朋友挑戰，只用了220個英文字彙，寫成這本孩子百看不厭的繪本，也讓戴著紅白條紋高帽，紅色領結的「戴帽子的貓」，成為美國家喻戶曉的童話人物。
