The Cat In The Hat Q&A

The Cat in the Hat
By Dr. Seuss
The sun did not shine.
It was too wet to play.
So we sat in the house
All that cold, cold, wet day.
I sat there with Sally.
We sat there, we two.
And I said, “How I wish
We had something to do!”
Too wet to go out
And too cold to play ball.
So we sat in the house.
We did nothing at all.
So all we could do was to
Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit!
And we did not like it.
Not one little bit.
And then
Something went BUMP!
How that bump made us jump!
We looked!
Then we saw him step in on the mat!
We looked!
And we saw him!
The Cat in the Hat!
And he said to us,
“Why do you sit there like that?”
“I know it is wet
And the sun is not sunny.
But we can have
Lots of good fun that is funny!”
“I know some good games we could play,”
Said the cat.
“I know some new tricks,”
Said the Cat in the Hat.
“A lot of good tricks.
I will show them to you.
Your mother
Will not mind at all if I do.”
Then Sally and I
Did not know what to say.
Our mother was out of the house
For the day.
But our fish said, “No! No!
Make that cat go away!
Tell that Cat in the Hat
 You do NOT want to play.
He should not be here.
He should not be about.
He should not be here
When your mother is out!”
“Now! Now! Have no fear.
Have no fear!” said the cat.
“My tricks are not bad,”
Said the Cat in the Hat.
“Why, we can have
Lots of good fun, if you wish,
With a game that I call
 UP-UP-UP with a fish!”
“Put me down!” said the fish.
“This is no fun at all!
Put me don!” said the fish.
“I do NOT wish to fall!”
“Have no fear!” said the cat.
“I will not let you fall.
I will hold you up high
As I stand on a ball.
With a book on one hand!
And a cup on my hat!
But that is not ALL I can do!’
Said the cat…



Setting: inside of a house on a rainy day
Triggering moment: The cat arrives and suggests they play some fun
games.
Plot: The children versus their two choices: fun with the cat
or follow the rules
The narrator catches Thing One and Thing Two with a net and says to the
cat, “Now you pack up those Things and you take them away"


1. The mom left the house and tbe cat came into the house with the kids and he wanted to take the kids attention, and the kids were surprised and in shock.
2. The theme its that the cat wanted to mame the kids get into a conflict with the kids mom, it wasnt his attention to make their mom mad but he also cleaned the house before he left.
3.I think the main character was the cat he woke up pretty good and in the hole story he was moving around and trying to play with the kids, he was trying to manipulate the kids and the fish.
4. I read the book and after i read it i listened to the audiobook and i could understand it a lot better because the reader was representing with different tones and different voices, i know this is a kids book but its more fun by listening to it, because you understand it better and helps you find the clues you didn't noticed when reading the book
