Bookroo's summary

Sally and her brother find school boring until the Cat in the Hat arrives with Little Cats A, B, and C.

Dive into this whimsical tale and discover how the Cat's playful chaos might just change everything.

From the publisher

The Cat is on a mission to make school FUN in this hilarious new Beginner Book–a sequel to If I Had Your Vote–by the Cat in the Hat–that’s a perfect choice for back to school! When the Cat hears that Sally and her brother of the classic The Cat in the Hat think school is dull, he arrives at their classroom–along with Little Cats A, B, and C from The Cat in the Hat Comes Back–to demonstrate how school fun should be done! Among the changes he’d make? Adding two-headed class pets; replacing show-and-tell with smell-and-tell; planting book-blooming seeds (growing rooms full of books); and adding such nontraditional materials as mops and plungers to art class! An ideal choice for children entering school for the first time, this easy reader is bound to cause lots of giggles–helping to ease any back-to-school anxiety! Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning.
