Two kids are stuck inside because if the rain, then a walking, talking cat with a hat come in and starts hanging out and doing things with them. He had two things with him as well. Each time he would suggest something the kid's goldfish would try to warn them by the cat always dismisses him. Ending in a big mess that they have to clean up after getting angry with the cat. But he ends up helping clean.

Perhaps Seuss' most iconic; the perfect blend of his absurdism and narrative. ( )

Dr. Seuss is either a hit or a miss for me. As a parent, I got really upset by this. ( )

The sun did not shine.
It was too wet to play.
So we sat in the house
All that cold, cold, wet day.
