The riotously funny follow-up to The Cat in the Hat!

The Cat is back—along with some surpise friends—in this beloved Beginner Book by Dr. Seuss. Dick and Sally have no time to play. It's winter and they have mountains of snow to shovel. So when the Cat comes to visit, he decides to go inside and to take a bath. No problem, right? Wrong! The pink ring he leaves in the tub creates is a very BIG pink problem when he transfers the stubborn stain from the bath onto Mother's white dress, Dad's shoes, the floors, the walls, and ultimately, over the entire yard full of snow! Will the kids EVER clean up the mess? You bet they will, with some help from the Cat and his helpers: 26 miniature cats (AKA Little Cats A-Z) who live inside the Cat's hat! This classic Dr. Seuss story is the perfect choice for beginning readers and read-alouds, especially on snow days! 

Beginner Books are fun, funny, and easy to read! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1957 with the publication of The Cat in the Hat, this beloved early reader series motivates children to read on their own by using simple words with illustrations that give clues to their meaning. Featuring a combination of kid appeal, supportive vocabulary, and bright, cheerful art, Beginner Books will encourage a love of reading in children ages 3–7.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

That behatted and bow-tied cat from Dr. Seuss's The Cat in the Hat is back, and, not surprisingly, is up to all sorts of mischief. This time, Sally and her brother are stuck shoveling snow: "This was no time for play./ This was no time for fun./ This was no time for games./ There was work to be done." But--you guessed it--the laughing Hat Cat has other ideas, as he lets himself in to eat cake in their tub. He leaves behind "a big long pink cat ring," which he then handily cleans with "MOTHER'S WHITE DRESS!" The dress then loses its pink stain to the wall, then Dad's shoes, then the rug in the hall, until finally the Cat must call in some assistance: from inside his hat comes Little Cat A, then Littler Cats B, C, D, E, and so on, nested like dolls in ever tinier hats. With this pack of felines, Sally and her brother may get rid of those stains, but they'll likely never be rid of that rascally cat. As should be expected from the good doctor, The Cat in the Hat Comes Back provides an excellent reader (and alphabet primer) for those just learning, not to mention ample laughs for everyone else. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes

Never knew this book existed. It is a good follow up, but not as good as the first Cat in the Hat. Although it has a surprise bonus of teaching the letters of the alphabet along with the storyline

I did not know there is a sequel for Cat in the Hat. And I enjoyed it. From the previous book, we know the Cat made some mess to I (a boy) and his sister Sally and went away. Now he is back to make another mess in the snow. I liked how the book rhyme and enjoyed this good story.

I was under the impression that these books were being discontinued. My children read them as little children and so I wanted to be sure that my great grandkids were able to read them as well. Dr. Seuss books are very enlightening, and I love to read them to my grandkids at bedtime.

When you buy an audiobook for your toddler, you know that *you* will *also* be listening to it over, and over, and over again. So, it's important to find books that you can tolerate with some degree of equanimity. Honestly, I *like* listening to this one. The performance really makes a great book even greater. Our son finds it HILARIOUS, and so do we. Win, win.
