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

This story is about a brother and sister who became bored on a rainy day. Next thing they knew a cat in the hat shows up at their house and takes them on an adventure in their own house. I would use this book to inspire kids to step out of their box. This book is all about adventure and usage of your imagination. This book would connect with different students or different situations that students may be encountering like boredom and lack of imagination. Situations like rainy days or just boredom strikes; kids can remember this book and come up with fun things to do instead of allowing a dreary day affect their fun. That allows a transitional experience and I'm sure they will enjoy it.

This is classic book to be used in a lesson about rhyming. This is also a book to use in celebrating Dr. Seus Day!

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